Location Haute-Savoie, France
Parent range Chablais Alps
Climbing
Easiest route The mountain is easily climbed from the Chamonix valley. There is a chalet en-route, which sells refreshments during the summer months. The main obstacles are a boulder field and a short ice field. Carrying an ice axe is recommended here in case of a slip, although I found crampons unnecessary. The top is likely to be snow-covered, even in summer, but one is rewarded by a splendid view of Mt. Blanc just across the valley, and of the Alps of Haute Savoie.

The Mont Buet (3,096 m) is a mountain of the Chablais Alps in Haute-Savoie, France.
