Aiguille des Grands Charmoz, Mountain summit in Mont Blanc Massif, France
The Aiguille des Grands Charmoz is a mountain summit located in the Chamonix range of the French Alps in Haute-Savoie. It forms part of a granite ridge with several distinct peaks and is accessed from surrounding valleys.
The summit saw its first ascent in the late 1800s, marking it as an important climbing objective during the golden age of mountaineering. It has been climbed regularly by alpinists ever since.
The summit attracts climbers who seek out technical granite routes in this part of the Alps. It draws people looking for challenging climbing experiences among the high peaks.
Visitors should expect rocky and steep terrain that requires climbing experience and proper gear. The best climbing conditions occur during the summer months when snow and ice are minimal.
The western face experienced a major rockfall in 1980 that altered several climbing routes on the peak. This natural event continues to influence how the mountain is climbed today.
