The summit of the Tour Ronde gives some of the finest views in the Mont Blanc Range, including a closeup of the vast Brenva Face of Mont Blanc itself.

The Gervasutti Couloir is a similar route which lies around to the right in a hidden slot in the west face. Slightly shorter and more enclosed by the surrounding rock walls, it lacks the big sense of exposure of the North Face. But it is often a good choice if the Face is crowded or a slightly shorter objective is needed.
