Mont Rond

Mont Rond is a mountain summit in the Beaufortain range with an elevation of about 1767 meters (5797 ft) and offers views over surrounding Alpine landscapes. The peak is reached by marked hiking trails that start from different points in the valley below.

The mountain sits in a region shaped by alpine economic activities since early settlement times, influencing how communities developed in the surrounding areas. The Beaufortain range has long been central to the way people organized their lives here.

Herders in the valleys below use traditional methods to raise cattle and produce goods from the mountain pastures. This way of working with the land remains visible in the daily rhythm of the communities living here.

Wear sturdy hiking boots and bring plenty of water, especially on warm days, since much of the route crosses open terrain. Plan your visit during months with stable weather to avoid snow and poor conditions on the exposed slopes.

A television transmitter on nearby Petit Mont Rond broadcasts to multiple communities in the region and is visible from many spots on the trail. This facility blends quietly into the mountain landscape without dominating the view.
