L'Isolée, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France
Description
L'Isolée is a granite peak in the Aiguilles du Diable range of the Graian Alps in southeastern France. This summit reaches 4,114 meters and stands within a dramatic rocky landscape where steep ridges and exposed terrain characterize this section of the mountain chain.
History
The summit was first reached in 1956 when a climbing team led by Roberto Rossi established a technical route through the rock formation. Since then, the mountain has remained part of the documented climbing network in the Mont Blanc region.
Culture
Local climbing communities maintain detailed route documentation of L'Isolée, contributing to the mountaineering heritage of the Haute-Savoie region.
Practical
Mountaineers typically visit this peak during summer months when weather conditions become favorable for climbing. The nearest shelter available is the Bivacco Alberico e Borgna, which serves as a key support point for climbing activities.
