Tête Noire, Mountain summit in Passy and Les Houches, France.
The Tête Noire peak reaches an elevation of 1,746 meters, offering panoramic views of the Mont Blanc massif and the Arve Valley.
The mountain served as a natural barrier between the Arve and Chamonix valleys until the construction of connecting roads during the Second Empire period.
The forested slopes of Tête Noire remain free from tourist infrastructure, preserving the natural Alpine environment of the Haute-Savoie region.
Multiple marked hiking trails connect the mountain flanks, including the GRP Tour du Pays du Mont-Blanc, with access points from both Passy and Les Houches.
A hydroelectric pipeline crosses through the mountain, supplying power to the Passy electrical plant located at its base.
