Description

The "Chandelle" is a 600 ft granite monolite, next to Trident du Tacul on the Geant Glacier at 3400m. Her name comes from French: it means "candle", because during the approch the top part of this peak looks like a burning candle.

Getting There

From Rifugio Torino (3375m) traverse west towards Col des Flambeaux. From here continue beneath the cable car and left to then continue at altitude towards the inconfoundable Grand Capucin. Continue left past Trident du Tacul to reach the Chandelle du Tacul.
