Aiguille des Grands Montets

The Aiguille des Grands Montets stands at 3,295 meters in the Mont Blanc massif, featuring a distinct pyramidal peak visible from the Argentière village.

The mountain recorded its first documented ascent in July 1863 when A.A. Reilly reached the summit with guides Henri Charlet and Alexander Albrecht.

The mountain represents a central point for mountaineering development in the French Alps, drawing climbers and skiers from numerous countries throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the summit through the Plan Joran cable car system, which operates according to weather conditions and provides access to multiple skiing areas.

The East Face descent from the cable car station requires crossing the Glacier des Rognons, creating an unconventional approach to climbing routes.
