Le Piolit, Mountain summit in the Dauphiné Alps, France.
Le Piolit is a mountain summit in the Dauphiné Alps rising to 2,464 meters in the Hautes-Alpes region. The peak forms part of the Eastern Gap Mountains massif and serves as a destination for hiking routes through the alpine landscape.
The mountain served for generations as a geographical reference point for local communities in the region. Its position in the Eastern Gap range connects it to the long-standing settlement and use of these Alpine valleys.
The Piolit massif holds Natura 2000 status, reflecting French commitment to European natural space preservation.
Hikers start from the Les Borels parking area and follow a trail that climbs steadily through the mountains. The route requires good fitness as it gains significant elevation across alpine terrain.
From the summit you can gaze across to Lake Serre-Ponçon, the Champsaur valley, and the Écrins mountain range on clear days. This wide vista makes the peak a favored spot for photographers and those seeking distant views.
