Aiguille de Tré la Tête, Alpine summit in Mont Blanc massif, France and Italy.
The Aiguille de Tré la Tête rises to 3,930 meters above sea level, featuring four distinct peaks along the France-Italy border in the Mont Blanc range.
The first successful climb occurred on July 12, 1864, when mountaineers Anthony Adams Reilly, Edward Whymper, Michel Croz, Michel Payot, and H. Charlet reached the summit.
The mountain stands as a testament to Franco-Italian alpine traditions, marking the natural boundary between Les Contamines-Montjoie in France and Courmayeur in Italy.
Experienced climbers can access the summit via the ENE ridge route leading to Bivouac Rainetto, with a technical difficulty rating of PD+ on the alpine scale.
In 2007, glacial movement revealed the remains of mountaineers from 1954, demonstrating the mountain's role in preserving alpine history.
