Aiguille de Salenton, Mountain summit in Giffre region, France

The Aiguille de Salenton rises to 2671 meters within the Aiguilles Rouges massif, displaying steep rocky faces and a pointed peak formation.

The mountain became part of the Réserve naturelle des Aiguilles Rouges, established to protect the geological formations and alpine ecosystems of the region.

Local mountaineers regularly organize guided expeditions to the summit, passing knowledge of alpine navigation and safety techniques to new generations.

Climbers access the peak from Buet station at 1330 meters, following the Bérard valley path to Pierre à Bérard refuge before the final ascent.

The northwestern ridge presents technical climbing challenges while offering clear views of both the Bérard and Diosaz valleys from the summit.

Elevation above the sea: 2,671 m

GPS coordinates: 46.00874,6.85399
