Tête de la Charme, Mountain summit in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France

The Tête de la Charme is a mountain summit in the French Alps rising to nearly 1,900 meters with several hiking trails crossing its slopes. These routes wind through different elevations and open onto views of surrounding valleys and peaks.

The summit lies on the ridge that descends from the Aiguille du Goûter through Mont Lachat and the Col de Voza toward the Prarion. The Mont Blanc Tramway, whose track rests on the mountain's western and southern slopes, serves the Col de Voza and has long given walkers access to this ridge. The summit's flat top holds several knolls, peat bogs and a former slate quarry.

The trails here form an important part of local walking routes and pass through typical Alpine landscapes with native plants and rock formations that define the mountain terrain. These paths matter to locals and visitors as they provide direct contact with the natural surroundings.

A popular circuit takes about two to three hours and requires good walking shoes and weather protection, as conditions at higher elevation can change quickly. The best time to hike is from May through October, when routes are normally snow-free and passable.

This mountain sits directly along the Mont Blanc Tramway route, letting hikers take the historic train from Saint-Gervais-les-Bains to reach the starting point easily. This connection makes the hike accessible to people of varying fitness levels.
