Aiguille du Croissant, Mountain summit in Valais, Switzerland.
The Aiguille du Croissant rises to 4260 meters within the Grand Combin massif of the Pennine Alps, featuring steep slopes and rocky terrain.
Sir William Martin Conway documented the mountain during his extensive exploration of the Pennine Alps in the early mountaineering period.
The French name translates to Needle of the Crescent, reflecting the mountain's distinct curved shape visible from specific observation points.
The Bivouac Biagio Musso, located 1557 meters west-southwest of the peak, serves as a base camp for mountaineers ascending the summit.
This peak ranks as number 39 among 60,693 peaks in the Alps and holds position 26 out of 1,787 in the Valais region.
