Aiguille de Péclet

Aiguille de Péclet, Mountain summit in Vanoise National Park, Savoie, France.

The Aiguille de Péclet is a 3,562 m summit in the Vanoise Massif, on the edge of the Vanoise National Park above Val Thorens. It stands at the centre of three glaciers: Gébroulaz to the north, Chavière inside the park and Péclet in its peripheral zone. Its upper part is a jagged crest of dark grey rock partly covered by snow and ice, falling away in steep snow slopes cut by rock ribs, gullies and cliff bands.

The Aiguille de Péclet stands on the edge of the Vanoise National Park, created in 1963 as France's first national park. Its north face feeds the Gébroulaz glacier, while the Chavière glacier lies inside the park and the Péclet glacier in its peripheral zone. The summit is reached from Pralognan-la-Vanoise via the Péclet-Polset refuge and the Gébroulaz glacier, from Méribel via the Saut refuge, or from Val Thorens.

The peak sits at the meeting point of three glaciers: Gébroulaz to the north, Chavière inside the Vanoise National Park, and Péclet in the park's outer zone. Its name is shared with the Péclet glacier and the Péclet-Polset refuge, the stopover on the classic route from Pralognan-la-Vanoise. Ski tourers from Val Thorens and Méribel also reach it.

Reaching the summit requires complete mountaineering equipment including glacier gear and rescue materials, with summer months offering the most favorable climbing window. Visitors should prepare for rapidly changing weather and bring appropriate protective clothing.

The peak sits at the meeting point of three glaciers: the Gébroulaz to the north, the Chavière inside the Vanoise National Park, and the Péclet in the park's outer zone. Its summit stands on the boundary between the Belleville valley and the Maurienne, above Val Thorens and Modane.
