Aiguille Grive

Aiguille Grive is a 2443 meter peak in the French Alps within the Les Arcs area. Multiple marked trails lead upward from different starting points, and the routes vary in how long they take and how difficult they are.

In the 1960s, Les Arcs resort areas were built in this region, transforming it from traditional mountain pastures into a winter sports destination. The development brought significant changes to how the alpine landscape was used.

The area around this peak is part of Les Arcs, where you can see architecture from the 20th century that fits naturally into the mountain landscape. The place shows how people have built here while respecting the shape of the terrain.

You can reach this peak through hiking trails that start from Arc 2000 or Peisey-Nancroix, with conditions varying by season. In summer and fall, the paths are most walkable, while winter and spring can bring snow and ice that make routes more difficult.

On clear days, you can spot two major mountain massifs from the top: Mont Blanc and Mont Pourri rising in the distance. Alpine animals like chamois and marmots are commonly seen here during the climb.
