Tête Blanche (lit. White Head, from French) 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, German, and Italian-speaking areas.
The Graian Alps can be divided into the following four groups: 1) the Mont Blanc group (north of the Little St Bernard Pass), including the Beaufortain Massif; 2) the Central group (the watershed between the Little St Bernard Pass and the Col du Mont Cenis; 3) the Western or French group; and 4) the Eastern or Italian group.
