Dome of Monetier, Mountain summit in Écrins National Park, France
The Dome of Monetier rises to 3,404 meters above sea level within the Écrins Massif, featuring steep slopes and rocky terrain throughout its structure.
The formation of Dome de Monetier occurred during the Alpine orogeny, when tectonic forces shaped the entire Écrins mountain range over millions of years.
Mountain guides from local villages maintain traditional climbing routes on Dome de Monetier, passing their knowledge to new generations of alpinists.
Climbers can reach the summit through multiple marked paths from the Monetier-les-Bains base, with summer months offering the most favorable conditions.
The mountain contains specific geological formations that allow scientists to study the composition of ancient marine sediments from the Tethys Ocean.
