Grande Aiguille Rousse, Mountain peak in Vanoise National Park, France.
The Grande Aiguille Rousse reaches an elevation of 3,482 meters between the Maurienne and Tarentaise valleys, near the Italian border.
The first mountaineers to reach the summit of this Graian Alps peak were Édouard Rochat and Blanc le Greffier on July 31, 1878.
This mountain stands as a meeting point between French and Italian alpine traditions, forming a natural border between both nations.
The Prariond refuge at 2,324 meters and Pian della Ballotta refuge at 2,470 meters serve as base camps for summit ascents.
The Sources de l'Isère glacier covers the mountain slopes, feeding water streams that shape the major Alpine valleys.
