Aiguille Rousse, Mountain summit in Peisey-Nancroix, France.
The Aiguille Rousse rises to 2482 meters, featuring a steep ascent and a ridge path through varied terrain composed of cargneule and tuf rock formations.
The mountain path passing near Notre-Dame-des-Vernettes chapel connects to a historical sanctuary established in 1702 following reports of miraculous water source cures.
Local shepherds maintain traditional practices in the nearby Rosset alpine pastures, producing authentic Beaufort cheese using methods passed through generations.
The complete hiking circuit spans 12.5 kilometers with 1150 meters elevation gain, requiring approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes from Plan Peisey starting point.
The final section presents an exposed ridge traverse that demands careful navigation, particularly during the aerial approach to the mountain peak.
