Aiguille de Scolette

Aiguille de Scolette, Alpine summit in Cottian Alps, Italy

Aiguille de Scolette is a 3,506-metre summit on the French-Italian border, the highest peak of the Cottian Alps outside the Monviso area. Its faces are split between Avrieux in Savoie and Bardonecchia in the province of Turin. From the Italian side it rises above Bardonecchia in the Val di Susa as a pyramid of rock.

The sources record no first-ascent date or climber for Aiguille de Scolette. The mountain stands on the border between Avrieux in Savoie and Bardonecchia in the province of Turin, and its two names, French and Italian, reflect that divide. The usual route reaches the summit from the Col de Pelouse, following the south-west ridge and then the north-west face.

The Italian name Pierre Menue translates as "small stone", a modest label for a 3,506 m peak that towers over Bardonecchia in the Val di Susa. The French name comes from the small Lac de Scolette at 2,686 m on the French side. The summit marks the border between Avrieux and Bardonecchia.

The summit is accessed via the Col de Pelouse route, which starts at the border area between Avrieux and Bardonecchia. Climbers should prepare for high alpine conditions and check weather forecasts before attempting the ascent.

The Italian name Pierre Menue translates as "small stone", a modest label for a 3,506 m border peak. The mountain is the highest point of the Cottian Alps outside the Monviso massif, and the Camillo Scarfiotti refuge serves as the base for the normal route via the Col de Pelouse.
