Aiguilles Dorées, Mountain summit in Valais canton, Switzerland.

The Aiguilles Dorées are a two-kilometre granite ridge in the Mont Blanc massif, with the highest summit, Aiguille de la Varappe, at 3,518 metres. The ridge begins at the Petite Fourche on the Swiss-French border and runs east-northeast, with named needles including Tête Biselx (3,508 m) and Trident (3,435 m). It separates the Trient and Saleina glaciers.

The Aiguilles Dorées belong to the Mont Blanc massif on the border between Valais and France, rising from the Petite Fourche (3,513 m) toward the east-northeast. In 1990 the French mountaineer Simone Badier made the first ascent of the south face. The ridge is a known climbing area reached from the Cabane du Trient, the Envers des Dorées bivouac and the Cabane de Saleina.

The German name Goldene Nadeln, "Golden Needles", refers to the granite spires of the ridge. The chain lies on the municipal boundary between Orsières and Trient, and the Fenêtre de Saleinaz, a notch and narrow rock ridge between the Petite Fourche and the Aiguille de la Varappe, separates the Trient and Saleina glaciers.

The chain is reached from three Swiss huts: Cabane du Trient, Cabane de Saleina and the Envers des Dorées bivouac; from France the approach starts at Refuge Albert 1er via the Glacier du Tour. The Fenêtre de Saleinaz, a notch and narrow rock ridge between the Petite Fourche and the Aiguille de la Varappe, separates the Trient and Saleina glaciers. The ridge runs about two kilometres from the Petite Fourche, which straddles the Swiss-French border, east-northeast toward the Portalet summits.

The L'Envers des Dorees Bivouac Hut is positioned strategically near the climbing routes and serves as a basic overnight shelter for small groups. This simple refuge allows climbers to stay on the mountain and push forward the following day without returning to the valley.
