Spend a day climbing the gorgeous Aiguille de Toula in the Alps at the border between France and Italy with one of the IFMGA-certified guides in the Peakshunter team.

The Aiguille De Toula (3,538m) rests on the border between Italy and France. This amazing peak is also one of the nicest to view and easiest to climb in the Mont Blanc Massif.
The Grand Flambeau (3,566m) stands to the left and the Aiguille d'Entreves (3,604m) stands to the right of the mountain. And in front of the Aiguille De Toula is the breathtaking Glacier du Geant.
The ascent of the Aiguille De Toula is one of the easier ascents in the Alps. With that said, if you have some climbing experience, you'll be better prepared for the climb, but even if you don't, don't worry because the climb is still doable, and can be done in a single day as well.
Our climb will begin at the Skyway cablecar up to the Pointe Helbronner (3,462m). From there we will make the comfortable ascent to the summit. And once there, you will be given a breathtaking view of the Mont Blanc Massif, and all of the valleys, glaciers and peaks around it.
There is something surreal about climbing a mountain that separates 2 countries. Maybe it's because you can look at both of those countries from the summit. However, that feeling is just a part of the joy you will have climbing this wonderful peak. Send me a message if you want to join me on this exhilarating day trip.
If you are looking for another easy day trip to the summit of another mountain in the Alps, I can also guide you on this trip to the top of Le Petit Mont Blanc.
