Les Aiguillettes

Les Aiguillettes rises to 2,233 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes with angles of 35 degrees on its northern and western faces.

The limestone formations of Les Aiguillettes date back to the Jurassic period, approximately 180 million years ago, as evidenced by fossils within the rocks.

The summit stands as a reference point for mountaineering activities, with numerous climbing routes established through its challenging terrain over generations.

Access to Les Aiguillettes requires careful planning during winter months, particularly after mid-November when certain roads close due to weather conditions.

The black coloration of Les Aiguillettes limestone results from preserved organic matter that formed in oxygen-poor environments millions of years ago.
