Aiguille de Toule, Mountain summit at France-Italy border, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc and Courmayeur.

The Aiguille de Toule rises to 3538 meters within the Mont Blanc massif, featuring steep rock faces and permanent snow cover on its upper sections.

The first recorded ascent occurred on August 10, 1895, when mountaineers Giovanni Bobba, Luigi Vaccarone, Casimiro Thérisod, and Pietro Re Fiorentin reached the summit.

The mountain serves as a meeting point between French and Italian alpine traditions, attracting mountaineers from both nations throughout the climbing season.

Climbers access the mountain via the Aiguille du Midi cable car from Chamonix or through the Skyway Monte Bianco from Courmayeur, requiring crampons and ice axes.

The north face presents a technical ski descent with gradients between 40 and 45 degrees, connecting to the Vallée Blanche route.
