Mont Rond, Mountain summit in the Beaufortain range, Savoie, France
Mont Rond is a summit rising to 1767 metres at the western end of a ridge that runs from the mont de Vorès, in the Beaufortain massif in Savoie. Its slopes are covered with dense coniferous forest, broken by pale rocky outcrops, and open into alpine meadows near the top. Two chairlifts and six ski lifts of the Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe ski area, part of the Espace Diamant, run across the slopes.
Mont Rond closes a ridge that runs west from the mont de Vorès, standing 1,767 metres above the Savoie valley. Its slopes now carry the lifts and pistes of Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe, a resort within the Espace Diamant ski area. Two chairlifts and six ski tow lifts serve the mountain, alongside the marked runs that descend toward the village.
Mont Rond's slopes belong to the Espace Diamant ski area, served by two chairlifts and six ski lifts from the Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe resort. In summer the same cleared strips and lift lines cross the meadows and forest, marking the mountain's winter use for walkers.
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.
