Les Droites, Mountain peak in Mont Blanc massif, Haute-Savoie, France

Les Droites is a 4,000 m mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in Haute-Savoie, France, and the lowest of the Alps' 4,000-metre peaks. It has two summits: the west summit at 3,984 m and the east summit at 4,000 m. Its north face rises about 1,600 m from the Argentière basin at an average angle of 60°, the steepest face on the 10-km ridge from the Aiguille Verte to Mont Dolent.

Les Droites was first explored and climbed in the late 1800s as mountaineering developed in the Mont Blanc area. This peak played a role in the growth of Alpine climbing during the period when the region became known for serious rock and snow routes.

The name Les Droites means "the right-hand ones" in French, referring to the mountain's position on the right side of the Argentière basin as seen from the Chamonix valley. The two summits, west and east, were both first climbed in 1876, within a month of each other.

Access to this peak typically starts from Chamonix, where climbers organize equipment and can hire professional mountain guides for the expedition. The best season for visits is summer, when snow and ice present fewer obstacles and daylight hours are longer.

The north face drops about 1,600 m from the Argentière basin at an average angle of 60°, the steepest wall on the 10 km ridge between the Aiguille Verte and Mont Dolent. Bobi Arsandaux and Jacques Lagarde made the first route through its central couloir on 31 July 1930. Reinhold Messner called it the wildest of the Alpine walls.
