Les Trois Aiguilles, Alpine summit in Manigod and Ugine, France
Les Trois Aiguilles reaches an elevation of 2,277 meters in the Aravis mountain range, positioned between Mont Charvin and L'Étale near the Manigod Needle.
The summit, located at the border of Savoie and Haute-Savoie departments, has served as a geographic reference point in the French Alps for generations.
Shepherds from the Manigod and Ugine valleys continue their traditional livestock farming practices in the mountain pastures surrounding Les Trois Aiguilles during summer months.
The summit climb requires approximately three hours from the Joux parking area in Manigod, with an elevation gain of 1,110 meters on marked trails.
The Fier River, a major waterway in Haute-Savoie, originates near the summit and flows through the valley beneath Les Trois Aiguilles.
