Aiguilles Marbrées, Mountain summit at France-Italy border.
The Aiguilles Marbrées rises to 3535 meters between Chamonix-Mont-Blanc and Courmayeur, featuring sharp granite peaks overlooking the Glacier du Géant.
The mountain became a focal point for alpinists during the 19th century when European mountaineers began exploring the Mont Blanc massif's challenging terrain.
Local guides from both French and Italian sides maintain traditional climbing routes, passing their expertise through generations of mountaineering instructors.
Access to Aiguilles Marbrées requires a cable car journey to Punta Helbronner station at 3462 meters, followed by a glacier crossing with proper climbing equipment.
The summit provides simultaneous views of three countries: France, Italy, and Switzerland, while standing directly on the watershed between Mediterranean and Adriatic seas.
