The Rocher de la Tournette (or, simply, 'La Tournette'[1]) is a prominent rocky point on the icy summit ridge of Mont Blanc between the Petite Bosse and the summit. The highest point lies at {{convert|4,677|m|ft}} above sea level, and can be most easily reached on an ascent of Mont Blanc via the Goûter Route.

Whilst not sufficiently isolated from other summits to be regarded by the UIAA as one of the 82 primary 4000 metre summits of the Alps, the organisation does nevertheless include Rocher de la Tournette on its 'Enlarged list of lesser summits'. This list defines a further 46 such points of secondary mountaineering or morphological interest, of which the Rocher de la Tournette is the highest.[2]

The shoulder of this rocky subsidiary summit offers a remote mountaineering route from the Quintino Sella Hut. Known as the Tournette Spur (fr: l’éperon de la Tournette), it enables the final 'Bosses Ridge' section of the Goûter Route to be reached from the Italian side of Mont Blanc.[3] This infrequently climbed route is nowadays graded AD on the adjectival climbing scale and was first climbed on 2 July 1872 by T Kennedy, J Carrel and J Fischer. The first winter ascent of the Tournette Spur was made by the three Sella brothers and their guides, including Emile Rey on 5 January 1888.[4]{{rp|58}}[5][6]

Air crash site

The Lockheed Constellation Malabar Princess (Air India Flight 245) crashed on November 3, 1950, near the Rocher de la Tournette, with 48 passengers and crew members,[7] a tragedy that inspired the 1952 novel La Neige en deuil (The Snow in mourning) of Henri Troyat (adapted to the cinema in 1956), then the movie Malabar Princess in 2004.

A second accident occurred on 24 January 1966, of the Boeing 707 Kangchenjunga Bombay-New York (Air India Flight 101), which also struck the outcrop in the same sector.[8] In 2013 this crash inspired a novel by Marc Levy, Un sentiment plus fort que la peur (A feeling stronger than fear, English translation 2013, also under the title Stronger than Fear).
