La Ruinette, standing at an imposing height of 3,875 meters (12,713 feet), is a remarkable peak within the Swiss Pennine Alps, commanding a majestic presence over the Lake of Mauvoisin in the canton of Valais. Notably, it is the highest point in the range that stretches between the Grand Combin and the Dent Blanche, making it a prominent feature in the alpine skyline.

The mountain’s vicinity to the Mont Blanc de Cheilon, which shares a similar elevation (3,870 meters), adds to the allure of this region, popular among mountaineers and nature enthusiasts. La Ruinette’s significant prominence of 838 meters (2,749 feet) further accentuates its stature in the alpine landscape.

La Ruinette not only stands as a testament to the natural beauty of the Pennine Alps but also serves as a beacon for climbers seeking to experience the unique challenges and scenic rewards of this part of the Swiss Alps.
