The Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey is a 4112 m slm high mountain in Italy .
It has a total of three peaks close together, the Pointe Central or Pointe Güßfeldt ( 4112 m ), the northwestern Pointe Jones ( 4107 m ) and the southeastern Pointe Seymour King ( 4107 m ). Upstream is the Pointe Gugliermina ridge tower ( 3893 m ). Close to this ridge tower is the Bivacco Piero Craveri bivouac box ( 3490 m ), which can be reached from the Rifugio Franco Monzino .
The Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey is one of the most difficult four-thousand-meter peaks in the Alps to climb . In general, it is crossed in the course of the ascent of the Peuterey ridge from the Aiguille Noire de Peuterey to Mont Blanc . It is a difficult and, above all, very long tour.
Like most of the peaks on the Italian side of the Mont-Blanc group , the mountain has a French name, as the Aosta Valley belonged to the Kingdom of Savoy for a long time , where French was spoken.
