Tête à l'Ane, Alpine summit in Passy and Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, France.
The Tête à l'Âne peak rises to 2804 meters in the Savoy Prealps, providing views of Mont Buet and Aiguille du Pouce mountains.
Scientists in the 18th century used this summit as an observation point to study Alpine topography before the first Mont Blanc ascents.

Hikers can reach the summit via marked trails from Refuge Moëde Anterne, which provides food services and accommodation for mountaineers.
