Aiguille du Grand Fond, Mountain summit in Savoie, France

Aiguille du Grand Fond is a 2,920-metre summit in the Beaufortain Massif, on the tripoint of Beaufort, Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Les Chapelles. Its upper slopes are snow and ice broken by dark grey rock ridges, with green grassy slopes below. The summit overlooks the Roselend lake and dam to the north-west and the Cormet de Roselend to the north.

The sources record no first ascent: the summit is not accessible by hiking, and no climbing route is documented. The mountain stands at 2,920 m in the Beaufortain Massif. The long-distance Tour du Beaufortain trail passes below it through the combe de la Neuva and over the col du Grand Fond, giving walkers a close view of the peak without reaching the top.

The summit marks the tripoint of Beaufort, Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Les Chapelles, and its name, Aiguille du Grand Fond, pairs the local word for a sharp peak with the col du Grand Fond just to the south. The long-distance Tour du Beaufortain path passes below through the combe de la Neuva and the col, so walkers see the peak from the trail rather than on it.

The summit itself is not accessible on foot; the marked Tour du Beaufortain long-distance path instead crosses the combe de la Neuva and the col du Grand Fond south of the peak. The summit overlooks the Roselend lake and the Cormet de Roselend to the north-west and north. The aiguille borders the combe de la Neuva firing range, so check for closures before walking in that valley.
