Grande aiguille de la Bérarde, Alpine peak in Écrins massif, France.
The Grande aiguille de la Bérarde reaches an elevation of 3,421 meters and features vertical walls rising above the village of La Bérarde in Isère department.
The first ascent of this summit occurred on June 20, 1873, by T. Cox, R. and W.M. Pendlebury, accompanied by guides Peter Baumann and Josef Marie Lochmatter.
The Écrins massif attracts an international community of mountaineers who maintain traditional climbing techniques on the faces of the Grande aiguille.
The climb requires between 9 and 12 hours from La Bérarde with an elevation gain of 1,750 meters, requiring complete mountaineering equipment and favorable weather conditions.
The north face of the mountain offers a high-level ski mountaineering route, first traced in 1971 by Alain Charbonnier.
