Mont Blanc. View of the cableway. Grand Flanbeau on the rigth.
High and rather important summit though overtopped by the titanic surroundings. Easy and fast access from Punta Helbronner and the close new and old ref. Torino, this summit is S of the omonymous pass while to NE the minor brother Petit Flambeau (3440m) grows only few meters from the Geant glacier. Both summits are fine panoramic spots. From A5 Morgex toll drive along the SS26 toward Courmayeur, cross it and once in Entréves follow for the Village La Palud - car parking car parking - Funivies of the Monte Bianco. From Rifugio Torino or from Punta Helbronner station "the Italian door to Vallèe Blanche and Mont Blanc massif", (from village La Palud of Entreves, with the funivies of the Monte Bianco), walk toward NW bordering on easy glacier up to the Colle de Saussure (3428m). Follow the watershed ridge that in little more than 100m leads to the summit. Another route: on the right, along the ESE side, follow a minor ridge bordering the E channel. Descent along the same routes. read more :
