Aiguilles Dorées

The Aiguilles Dorées rises to 3,568 meters, forming a 2-kilometer ridge that separates the Trient and Saleina glaciers in the Mont Blanc massif.

The first recorded ascent occurred in the late 19th century, with pioneers Valère Fynn and William Murphy completing the initial ridge traverse in 1892.

Local mountaineers gather annually at Cabane d'Orny to exchange stories and experiences about their climbs on the granite peaks of Aiguilles Dorées.

The summit access requires a chairlift ride from Champex-Lac to Cabane d'Orny, followed by a five-hour hike across the Trient Glacier.

The L'Envers des Dorees Bivouac Hut, positioned near the climbing routes, provides accommodation for six people at 10 Swiss francs per night.
