Aiguille du Tour, Alpine summit in Mont Blanc massif, France

The Aiguille du Tour rises to 3443 meters between the Tour Glacier and Trient Glacier, featuring steep rock faces and mixed climbing conditions.

The first documented climb of Aiguille du Tour took place in 1926 when M. Dreyfus, R. Duval, P. Henry, and M. Ichac reached its summit.

The mountain serves as a training ground for mountaineers preparing to climb higher peaks in the Mont Blanc region through various technical routes.

Climbers can start their ascent from either the Albert Premier refuge at 2702 meters in France or the Cabane du Trient at 3170 meters in Switzerland.

The normal route requires a long glacier traverse followed by technical sections where climbers must navigate mixed terrain of rock and ice.

Elevation above the sea: 3,443 m

GPS coordinates: 45.99449,7.01046
