Tête du Château

Tête du Château is an Alpine peak in the Reposoir mountain chain that stands between Le Reposoir and Magland. Its rocky summit commands views across the surrounding valley and the peaks that border it.

The peak served local shepherds and mountain inhabitants as a natural reference point for generations. Its prominence in the landscape made it a recognized landmark for those traveling through the region.

Local hikers gather at the summit each summer to celebrate the mountain festival with traditional songs and regional customs.

Hikers should expect steep terrain and a considerable elevation gain of about 1.250 meters (4.100 feet) from the village. The route demands physical fitness and proper alpine equipment for safe travel.

The slopes feature gradients of roughly 30 to 35 degrees, creating excellent backcountry skiing terrain during winter months. This characteristic draws winter sports enthusiasts to the site.
