Aiguille De Scolette

Aiguille de Scolette, a 3,506m mountain on the French-Italian border, is located in Savoie on the French side and Turin on the Italian side. It is a spectacular snow-covered pyramid that rises above the Cottian Alps and was first climbed in 1875. Outside of the Monviso area, this is the highest summit in the Cottian Alps. It is part of the Massif du Mont-Cenis in the French Western Alps subdivision. The mountain is divided administratively between the communes of Avrieux (F - north-west and north-east faces) and Bardonecchia (I - southern face).

Do you want to climb it? The most direct path to the summit begins from the Col de Pelouse, which connects Bardonecchia with Avrieux, and follows the mountain's south-west and north-west ridges.

The artificial lake of Rochemolles is located on the Italian side at 1,979 meters above sea level, while the little lake of Scolette is located on the French side (2686 meters).
