Aiguille du Fruit, Mountain summit in Savoie, France

Aiguille du Fruit is a limestone peak in the Vanoise massif of the French Alps. It rises between the valleys of Meribel and Courchevel and stands out for its sharp ridges and rocky walls.

The peak was explored during the early 1900s as mountaineering activities began to develop across the Vanoise region. Early climbers and guides gathered knowledge about routes and techniques that shaped how the area is visited today.

The name refers to the peak's shape, which resembles a piece of fruit. The summit marks the boundary between the valleys of Méribel and Courchevel, and the col du Fruit (2,516 m) and pointe Émilienne (2,598 m) to the north-west separate it from the Saulire. The Grosse Tête (2,728 m) continues the ridge south-east to the col de Chanrouge (2,529 m).

This peak can be climbed from June through September when snow and ice are less likely to block climbing routes. Visitors need mountaineering experience and proper equipment to safely navigate the steep rock faces.

The rock layers display visible strata of limestone and dolomite that reveal how the Alpine mountains formed over time. This geological feature attracts visitors interested in understanding the physical story written in the stone.
