Overview
Overview
The summit of the Dôme is marked as lying entirely within France on the French Institut Géographique National (IGN) map, although on the Italian Istituto Geografico Militare (IGM) map the summit appears to lie on the frontier between France and Italy. In June 2015, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi expressed repeated claims on the territory. The Swiss National Map, which covers the massif at 1:50'000 scale, shows both disputed areas around Mont Blanc and Dôme du Goûter in a neutral way, after previously following the French interpretation of the border until 2018. • Illustration — The summit of the Dôme du Goûter

Goûter Refuge
Goûter Refuge
In 2013, the Goûter Refuge opened, a mountain hut noted for its modern style. From the hut the summit of the Dome du Gouter is about two hours away by foot. The hut is located above the Aiguille du Gouter cliff and is constructed of wood and steel in a roughly egg shape. The older shelter was a more basic metal shed that sat on the ice, whereas the new building has supports drilled into the rock.
