Hiking
To climb the needle, you'll need to climb a small chimney, facilitated by two ropes. Only those in good physical condition who aren't afraid of climbing should ascend it. A second handrail then aids your progress. At the top, you shouldn't be afraid of heights, even though there's still some space at the summit (relatively speaking).
The view, however, is splendid over the entire valley, the Mont Blanc and Aravis ranges, as well as the Aiguille Rouge de Varan.
