Grande aiguille de la Bérarde, Alpine peak in Écrins massif, France.

The Grande aiguille de la Bérarde is a rock pyramid in the Écrins massif rising to 3,421 meters above the village of La Bérarde. The summit features steep granite walls with multiple climbing routes of varying difficulty.

The sources document no 1873 first ascent. The mountain's recorded climbing history centres on its north face, where climbing routes were opened, notably by Pierre Chapoutot, and where a high-level ski mountaineering line was first skied in 1971 by Alain Charbonnier, repeated regularly since.

The mountain's name comes from the village of La Bérarde in the Isère valley below, which the 3,421-metre summit overlooks by more than 1,700 metres. Climbers based there use the peak's normal summer route, rated PD (peu difficile), and its north face, where Pierre Chapoutot opened climbing routes.

The climb takes about 9 to 12 hours from La Bérarde with roughly 1,750 meters (5,740 feet) of elevation gain and requires complete mountaineering equipment. Weather in the mountains changes rapidly, so conditions should be checked before starting.

The north face holds a high-level ski mountaineering route, first skied in 1971 by Alain Charbonnier and repeated regularly every year since. Climbing routes were also opened on this face, notably by Pierre Chapoutot. It is a line for experienced ski mountaineers, not a beginner's descent.
