Aiguille du Belvédère, Mountain summit in Aiguilles Rouges range, France
Aiguille du Belvédère is a summit in the Aiguilles Rouges range that stands at around 2,965 meters and offers multiple climbing routes. The peak features rocky terrain and technical passages accessible from the Flégère base station.
The peak became known to mountaineers in the 19th century as climbing developed in the region and served as a testing ground for new techniques. Classic routes were refined over generations by local and visiting climbers seeking experience.
The mountain serves as a training ground for climbers preparing for more demanding peaks in the Mont Blanc massif. Many use it as a stepping stone to test their abilities before tackling harder ascents.
The ascent starts with the Flégère cable car followed by a hike to Lac Blanc and then rocky climbing sections. You will need climbing experience and proper gear for the technical portions of the route.
The final section to the summit includes a narrow rock chimney that requires specific climbing skill and is only passable in good conditions. This feature is memorable for many climbers as it combines technical ability with exposure.
