Aiguilles d'Entrèves

Aiguilles d'Entrèves, Mountain peak in Mont Blanc massif, France and Italy.

The Aiguilles d'Entrèves is a 3,600 m peak at the head of the Glacier du Géant, its rocky summit ridge forming part of the France-Italy frontier. It rises in two sections: a steep dark rock wedge capped with snow on the left, and a higher sharp crest of dark grey and brown stone on the right, joined by a broad snow-covered saddle. Below, a wide expanse of pale snow and ice slopes down, textured with crevasses, ridges and bands of darker rock.

The Aiguilles d'Entrèves was first climbed on 31 August 1897 by Adolfo Hess, Flavio Santi and Julien Proment. Their route up the rocky summit ridge, which forms part of the France-Italy frontier, opened the peak to later climbers. Today the SW ridge from the Col d'Entrèves, followed by a traverse and descent via the NE ridge, is a popular outing graded AD− (IV 4c).

The peak's name comes from the Col d'Entrèves, the 3,517 m saddle separating it from the Tour Ronde. Climbers reach the summit from the Torino Hut or Punta Helbronner, often via the Col Flambeaux, then follow the south ridge, snowy at first and rocky higher up. The frontier ridge runs between the Aiguille de Toula and the Tour Ronde.

Access to the peak is possible from both the French side near Chamonix and the Italian side near Courmayeur, with cable cars helping visitors reach higher starting points. Mountain conditions change rapidly, so preparation for shifting weather and terrain is important for any visit.

The first ascent, on 31 August 1897, was made by Adolfo Hess, Flavio Santi and Julien Proment. The rocky summit ridge also forms part of the France-Italy frontier, and the peak stands at the head of the Glacier du Géant, east of the Tour Ronde.
