Aiguille de Scolette (in French) or Pierre Menue (in Italian) is a mountain of Savoie (F) and of the province of Turin (I). It lies in the Cottian Alps range. It has an altitude of 3506 metres above sea level.
Geography
The mountain is the highest peak of Cottian Alps besides Monviso area.
In the French subdivision of Western Alps it belongs to the Massif du Mont-Cenis while in the SOIUSA (International Standardized Mountain Subdivision of the Alps) it gives the name to a mountain group called "groupe de l'Aiguille de Scolette" (French) or "gruppo della Pierre Menue" (Italian), which also includes pointe de Paumont and punta Bagnà.[3]
Administratively the mountain is divided between the commune of Avrieux (F - north-west and north-east faces) and the comune of Bardonecchia (I - southern face).
On its Italian side at 1979 metres above sea level stands the artificial lake of Rochemolles while on the French side is situated the small lake of Scolette (2686 metres).
Access to the summit
The easiest route for the summit starts from Pelouse's pass, which connects Avrieux and Bardonecchia, and follows the SW ridge and then the NW face of the mountain.[4]
