Panorama view from the Tête Rousse

Tête Rousse

On his way to the top of the Mont Blanc, Tête Rousse is the first manned refuge one encounters after the end station of the Tramway du Mont-Blanc at Nid d'Aigle (starting from Saint-Gervais, France). It sits at the border of a moraine at a height of 3 167 meters above sea level, and offers stunningly wonderful views of mountains to the north (Alps, Valley of the Arve, Saleve, and Jura far on the horizon – shown in my panorama) and ice covered Alpine peaks in all other directions. It also offers decent refuge-style accommodation, although it does not have running water. I took this panorama on Saturday the 25th of July 2009.
