Aiguille de Rochefort, Mountain summit in Haute-Savoie, France
The Aiguille de Rochefort rises to 4,001 meters on the France-Italy border, featuring granite formations and steep cliffs within the Mont Blanc massif.
Edward Whymper and his climbing team accomplished the first recorded ascent of Aiguille de Rochefort in 1864, establishing its place in Alpine mountaineering history.
The mountain stands as a testament to French-Italian Alpine heritage, drawing mountaineers from both nations to test their skills on its challenging routes.
Access to Aiguille de Rochefort begins from Chamonix, with the Torino Hut serving as a base camp for climbers preparing for the summit attempt.
The Rochefort arête provides a technical climbing route that connects multiple peaks, offering views across both French and Italian Alpine territories.
