Tips

Superb summit to do in the extension of the col de l'Oeillon. It certainly adds a little difficulty but the view is worth the detour! The telecommunications pylon is impressive and visible from all the way down the valley. Tip to enjoy the view, do not hesitate to go around the enclosure of the pylon on foot to go to the other side where a huge carved stone cross, an orientation table and a breathtaking view awaits you.

Overlooking the Pilat, superb view that can go as far as the Alps on a clear day

The second most remarkable summit of Pilat behind Crêt de la Perdrix, this giant of gneiss and granite unveils, from its 1,364 meters above sea level, its trump card: a bird's-eye view of the peak of Trois dents and the valley of the Rhône stretching out at its feet. On a clear day, the gaze is lost until strange appearances which imprint their relief on the horizon line: the Vercors mountains, the Ecrins and the Mont-Blanc range, for a natural spectacle that is both unreal. and majestic.
