Aiguille du Croc, Mountain summit in Peisey-Nancroix, France
Rising to an elevation of 11,132 feet, Aiguille du Croc presents steep slopes and varied terrain within the French Alps mountain range.
The mountain area gained recognition during the 17th century when silver mines operated in the valley, attracting workers and bringing wealth to local communities.
Local shepherds maintain the tradition of producing Beaufort cheese in alpine pastures near Aiguille du Croc during summer grazing seasons.
Hikers can access the mountain trails from Peisey chairlift, following a marked path through forests before reaching exposed sections near the summit.
The mountain contains cargneule, an iron-rich rock formation that requires extra caution during thunderstorms due to its metallic composition.
