Aiguille Rouge, Alpine summit in Les Arcs, France

Aiguille Rouge rises to 3227 meters within the Vanoise Massif, presenting expansive views of the surrounding French Alpine valleys and glaciers.

The construction of the Aiguille Rouge cable car in 1982 revolutionized access to the summit, changing mountain activities in the region.

The mountain stands as a central geographical marker for the Tarentaise Valley residents, influencing local alpine traditions and practices.

A modern cable car system transports visitors to 3226 meters, making the summit readily accessible throughout most of the year.

A viewing platform installed in 2019 enables visitors to walk above the void at an altitude exceeding 3000 meters.
