 The French artist Samivel is known for his paintings of some of these splendid views.The highest point in this range is named Belvédère (literally "beautiful viewpoint" in French) because it offers a 360° panoramic view of all the mountains surrounding the Aiguilles Rouges.The mountain path running from Planpraz to the Col des Montets via La Flégère, just above the treeline of the Aiguilles Rouges, is called "Le Grand Balcon Sud" (Grand Southern Balcony).
