Aiguille de Chanrossa, Mountain summit in Vanoise massif, France

The Aiguille de Chanrossa rises to 2,724 meters above sea level, featuring steep rocky slopes and distinct geological formations in the French Alps.

The mountain gained recognition in the mountaineering community during the early explorations of the Vanoise massif in the development of Alpine tourism.

Local shepherds from Pralognan-la-Vanoise have maintained traditional grazing practices around the base of Aiguille de Chanrossa for generations.

Climbers must verify weather forecasts, bring safety equipment, and plan routes carefully as the summit terrain requires technical expertise and proper preparation.

The mountain contains natural hydrogeological formations where water has eroded through limestone and marble, creating underground drainage systems.

Elevation above the sea: 2,724 m
