The Grandes Jorasses are one of the most famous peaks in the Alps. The mountain, located on the eastern side of the Mont Blanc massif, is actually a massive wall over a kilometer long, forming one of the most impressive granite formations in the entire Alps, culminating at Pointe Walker at an elevation of 4208 m. The Grandes Jorasses are not a classic or pyramid-shaped peak like the Drus. The summit ridge consists of six pinnacles, separated by a series of deep notches. From west to east, these are Pointe Young, Punta Margherita, Punta Elena, Pointe Croz, Pointe Whymper, and Pointe Walker. The massif extends east-west, ending in the east at the Hirondelles Pass (3480 m) and in the west at the Grandes Jorasses Pass.

The Grandes Jorasses massif has 6 peaks:
- Punta (Pointe) Walker (4,206 m)
- Punta (Pointe) Whymper (4,180 m)
- Punta (Pointe) Croz (4,108 m)
- Punta Margherita (Pointe Marguerite) (4,065 m)
