Aiguille de Triolet

The Aiguille de Triolet rises to 3,870 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between France and Italy in the Mont Blanc mountain range.

Three mountaineers, J.A.G. Marshall, U. Almer, and J. Fischer, completed the first recorded ascent of Aiguille de Triolet on August 26, 1874.

The mountain features prominently in Alpine mountaineering traditions, with its north face representing a significant challenge for experienced ice climbers throughout generations.

Climbers can access the mountain from either the Refuge d'Argentière in France or the Rifugio Dalmazzi in Italy, with both shelters providing necessary equipment storage.

The summit connects four distinct ridges that separate multiple glacial basins, including the Argentière Glacier on the north and the Pré de Bar on the south.
