Mont Pelat is a limestone summit located at 3,051 meters above sea level which dominates the massif of the same name. From there, there is an incredible view of the Écrins and Cerces massifs, and of Lake Allos below.

Great (but tiring!) day hike from the Parking at Col de la Colette. Not to difficult...just long and with 1000 meters ascent and descent divided in 2 parts of 300hm and then another 700hm. The 360 views on top are breathtaking and worth it all!

Mont Pelat is an easy 3.000 to do. Only the last meters sometimes require the use of hands.

Mont Pelat is a mountain in the northeast of Provence. It is located in the Mercantour National Park and is home to Lake Allos. For many mountaineers it is one of the most attractive mountains to climb in the area.

The easiest summit of over 3000m in the Eastern Alps. No technical difficulty and relatively little difference in altitude. To do at the beginning (June) or end (September-October) of the season to avoid the crowds.

Info: in season prefer to book paid parking online, otherwise there is a risk of not being able to park, the trick is to leave the car and hitch a ride at the barrier entrance to reach the start of the lake/Mont Pelat route.
