Cimes de la Cochette

The Cimes de la Cochette rises 3118 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky slopes and numerous trails that connect to neighboring Alpine peaks.

The summit became a recognized mountaineering destination in the early 20th century when French alpinists established the first documented climbing routes.

Local mountain guides regularly organize guided ascents to teach traditional Alpine climbing techniques and safety protocols to visiting mountaineers.

Climbers need technical equipment including ropes, helmets, and crampons to navigate the challenging terrain, particularly when crossing the glacier sections.

The summit offers direct access to both the Oisans region and Maurienne valley, with a distinctive route that passes through the Dome de la Cochette.
