- Neighbor summit

Thanks to its lone standing position, Vanil de l'Aille could be an excellent viewpoint. However, it is not, because it is completely overgrown by trees. If you want to climb it anyway, you have the choice of two routes. From Le Revers (ca. 1309 m) follow the forested and overgrown ridge (T4). Alternatively, from L’Aille follow a very steep ridge directly to the summit. In the upper part you need to find your own way through a number of rocky ledges on the south and the east side of the summit (T5, unclear on the descent).
