Aiguille à Bochard

The Aiguille à Bochard rises to an elevation of 2,681 meters, positioned above the Mer de Glace glacier and offering views across the Mont Blanc massif.

Early mountaineers in the 19th century established multiple climbing routes to reach this granite peak, contributing to the development of Alpine climbing techniques.

The summit represents the meeting point between French Alpine climbing traditions and modern winter sports, drawing both mountaineers and skiers throughout the year.

Access to Aiguille à Bochard requires a 1,400-meter elevation gain from the parking area at Le Lavancher, with technical climbing sections near the summit.

Natural waterfalls form along the mountain's face above the Mer de Glace, creating seasonal ice formations that change throughout the winter months.
