Bordered to the south by the Durance valley, the Ecrins massif once again rises above 2000 meters above sea level with these magnificent limestone needles dominating the Serre-Ponçon lake. The highest is accessible to walkers who are not afraid of heights and passages are a bit steep, even a bit exposed. The panorama from the top, overlooking the 1700 meter high lake of Serre-Ponçon, is a great reward.

Hiking

Very distinctive peak in an exposed location. The last few meters to the summit you lay back on a great via ferrata.
