Aiguille de Polset

Aiguille de Polset, Mountain summit in Savoie, France.

Aiguille de Polset is a summit of dark, jagged rock in the Massif de la Vanoise, Savoie, reaching 3,528 metres according to French sources. Its upper flanks are steep vertical faces and pointed pinnacles breaking through broad snowfields, with the highest point near the centre flanked by lower rock points. The Gébroulaz glacier partly originates on its slopes and those of the Aiguille de Péclet.

Aiguille de Polset is a summit of the Massif de la Vanoise in Savoie, reaching 3,528 metres according to French sources (3,531 metres in English ones). The Gébroulaz glacier partly forms on its slopes and on those of the neighbouring Aiguille de Péclet. It is climbed from the Refuge de Peclet-Polset or the Refuge du Saut.

The peak draws climbers seeking technical challenges in the French Alps and remains part of the region's mountaineering heritage. The surrounding slopes have shaped how people here relate to the high mountains for generations.

Climbing this peak requires high mountain experience and proper equipment, as it is a demanding ascent. It is important to monitor weather and snow conditions, especially in cooler months when glaciers and ice affect access.

Part of the Gébroulaz glacier begins on the slopes of the Aiguille de Polset as well as on those of the neighbouring Aiguille de Péclet, so the ice below the summit is fed from two peaks. The mountain is climbed from the Refuge de Peclet-Polset or the Refuge du Saut.
