Aiguille du Dru

In Europe, and especially in France, the summit is legendary due to its stunning beauty and its importance in mountaineering history.

The mountain has two summits:

• Grande Aiguille du Dru (or the Grand Dru) 3,754 m, and
• Petite Aiguille du Dru (or the Petit Dru) 3,733 m.

Did You Know?

On 4 September 1913 a party of climbers led by Camille Simond and Roberts Charlet-Straton attempted to carry a hollow metal statue of Our Lady of Lourdes up the peak. The statue, almost a metre high, weighing 13 kilos and made of aluminium, had to be left in a rocky crevice at 3,000m because of poor weather, and it was only on 18 September 1919 that the statue was finally hoisted to the summit by a party from Argentière: Alfred, Arthur, Camille, Joseph, and Jules-Félicien Ravanel together with the village priest, abbé Alexis Couttin.
