    At 3,210 meters above sea level, the Pain de Sucre marks the border between France and Italy. The summit offers a panoramic view of the French, Swiss and Italian Alps and in particular of two giants of the region: Mont Viso and Mont Blanc!

      a nugget!
      nice climb from the Agnel refuge (a bit sporty at the end).
      what a great reward to discover a
      magnificent 360 degree viewpoint.

        A very accessible "3000" and a flagship climb of the Queyras. The view at the top is incredible, the Viso seems very close, the slender peak of Asti is within reach, the Alps stretch as far as the eye can see, the Po plain is often lost in a sea of clouds... You can access it from the old pass, there is a road car park just below, open in season. Also, the climb is steep and there can be a lot of people. The last meters are a bit sporty, you have to climb on slabs and put your hands on it a bit. Another gravel path exists on the left.
