Aiguille de la Floria, Alpine summit in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France

This summit reaches 2,888 meters elevation within the Red Needles massif, which rises east of the Chamonix valley. Its slopes are rocky and steep, with glacier formations and snow fields surrounding the peak.

The Aiguille de la Floria belongs to the Aiguilles Rouges massif, the range that faces the Mont Blanc chain across the Chamonix valley. The sources record no founding date, protected status or first-ascent history for this summit; they locate it above La Flégère, between the Floria glacier to the west and the Index snow field to the south.

The name Floria refers to the glacier and snow field the needle overlooks, and the peak is climbed from the Flégère side above the Chamonix valley. It stands in the Aiguilles Rouges massif, whose routes are worked by Chamonix guides and count among the valley's classic outings.

Reaching the summit requires technical climbing skills and specialized gear such as ropes, carabiners, and ice axes. Climbers need clear weather, prior mountain experience, and solid fitness levels, as the approach involves steep sections and exposed terrain.

The summit stands 2,888 metres high, 190 metres above the surrounding terrain, and lies 5.7 kilometres from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. Its bare grey rock carries only a small snow patch near the top, with low yellowish-green vegetation and dark lichen on the lower slabs.
