Aiguille de la Petite Sassière, Alpine summit in Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, France.
The Aiguille de la Petite Sassière summit reaches an elevation of 3,672 meters and overlooks the Ruitor glacier in the French Alps.
Local shepherds traditionally used the pastures around the Aiguille de la Petite Sassière, as evidenced by the Saint Pierre chapel built in the 17th century.
The plateau near the Aiguille provides a space where the bells of grazing herds ring out, continuing the pastoral tradition of the region.
Hikers can obtain digital and paper maps from the tourist office to plan their ascent between April and November.
The trail crosses the mountain stream twice over natural bridges before reaching Lac du Petit in a mineral environment.
