Small summit easily accessible not far from L'Argentière-la-Bessé. In good weather, it offers a magnificent panorama of the valley and the surrounding peaks. From the Col de la Pousterle, a snowshoe route is well indicated and runs along other cross-country ski trails. At the top, some limestone geological formations and magnificent windswept larch trees give a beautiful mountain feeling.
