Aiguille du Passon, Mountain summit in Mont Blanc Massif, France
The Aiguille du Passon rises to 3389 meters above sea level, featuring sharp rock formations and glacial terrain in the French Alps.
The first mountaineers reached the summit during the late 19th century, establishing initial climbing routes through the steep rock faces.
The name Aiguille, meaning needle in French, reflects the local naming tradition of characterizing peaks by their distinctive pointed shapes.
Climbers access the summit from Chamonix Valley using the Grands Montets cable car, followed by a technical ascent across glacial terrain.
The Col du Passon at 3028 meters serves as a natural gateway between the Argentière Basin and the Tour Glacier, connecting different valleys.
