About Tête Blanche
Tête Blanche is a mountain. Location: Evolène, Hérens District. Elevation: 3,710 m.
Tête Blanche (French pronunciation: [tɛt blɑ̃ʃ], lit. 'White Head') is a mountain of the Pennine Alps on the Swiss-Italian border. Its summit (3,710 metres) is the tripoint between the valleys of Hérens, Mattertal (both in Valais) and Valpelline (in the Aosta Valley), thus forming the linguistic tri-point between French (Val d'Hérens and Aosta Valley), German (Mattertal), and Italian (bilingual Aosta Valley) -speaking areas.
