The Tête Noire summit reaches an altitude of 1685 meters and features multiple hiking paths through dense forest areas within the Aravis mountain range.

The mountain paths around Tête Noire have served as traditional routes for local shepherds moving their flocks between valleys since the 17th century.

The surrounding area maintains strong agricultural traditions with mountain pastures still used by local farmers for cheese production during summer months.

Visitors can access the summit via a 2.6-kilometer trail from Parking du Peray, with the hike requiring approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to complete.
