Cornes du Chamois, Alpine summit in Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, France.

Cornes du Chamois consists of two rocky peaks that rise above the Giffre Valley, positioned between two major rock amphitheaters. Both summits feature exposed rock faces and steep ridges typical of this section of the Alps.

The northeastern peak was first climbed in the early 20th century, with the southwestern peak following several decades later. This staggered exploration reflects how mountaineers gradually made their way up different sections of the formation.

The name Cornes du Chamois refers to the chamois of the surrounding slopes, and the two rock points are counted among the emblematic summits of Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, above the Giffre valley. The climbs of 1905 and 1925 by Émile-Robert Blanchet and his guides belong to the valley's mountaineering record.

Access to these peaks requires rock climbing skills and full technical equipment including ropes and protection gear. Summer months offer the safest climbing conditions with minimal snow cover and stable weather patterns.

The two summits are not equal in height: the southwestern horn reaches 2,523 metres, while the northeastern horn is the lower, secondary top of the Tenneverge peak. The first ascent of the northeastern horn was made on 20 July 1905 by Émile-Robert Blanchet with guides Alexandre Bochatay and Émile Revaz.
