Brec de Chambeyron, Mountain summit in Ubaye Valley, France.
The Brec de Chambeyron reaches an elevation of 3,389 meters and features a sharp, rocky peak that dominates the upper Ubaye Valley landscape.
Paul Agnel and Joseph Risoul achieved the first recorded climb of Brec de Chambeyron in June 1878, establishing the initial eastern face route.
The mountain name derives from French alpine terminology, where 'Brec' refers to a summit shaped like a pointed tooth in the landscape.
Climbers access the summit through the Chambeyron Mountain Hut at 2,626 meters, which provides 74 beds and serves as a base for ascents.
The mountain presents a challenging north face couloir with a 50-degree inclination, requiring advanced climbing skills and careful navigation.
