Les Grandes Aiguilles, Mountain summit in Bourg Saint Maurice, France
The Grandes Aiguilles rises to 2905 meters in the Graian Alps, forming a prominent peak with multiple routes leading to its rocky summit.
The Graian Alps region, home to Les Grandes Aiguilles, served as a natural barrier between French and Italian territories throughout medieval mountain conflicts.
Local shepherds maintain ancient Alpine farming practices by guiding their flocks through the meadows surrounding Les Grandes Aiguilles during summer months.
The ascent requires proper mountaineering equipment and starts from Les Veis de Nastase, following marked trails through varying terrain for approximately 5 hours.
The mountain features multiple natural lakes in the Versoyen valley, creating an intricate network of alpine water bodies at different elevations.
