Aiguillette du Lauzet, Mountain peak in Hautes-Alpes, France.
Aiguillette du Lauzet is a limestone peak in the Cerces massif reaching 2717 meters. The mountain offers several climbing routes and via ferrata paths suited to different skill levels.
The sources document no first ascent, no monks and no WWII episode; the only named route is the voie Davin, a moderate climbing line on the tower's rock. The peak stands at 2717 m above the hamlet of Le Lauzet in the Cerces massif, and its via ferrata brought it renown.
The mountain serves as a meeting point for regional climbing communities who regularly gather to practice different climbing styles and techniques.
The usual approach leaves from the hamlet of Le Lauzet, below the tower, and the via ferrata is the best-known way up the rock face. The Davin route offers moderate difficulties on excellent rock. The summit stands at 2717 metres in the Cerces massif, so plan for high-mountain conditions.
