Sommet du Ruth

The Ruth Summit reaches an elevation of 1299 meters and stands on a ridge line that divides the Durance Valley from the Duyes Valley.

Local shepherds established the paths leading to Ruth Summit during their seasonal migrations, creating routes that connected valley settlements to high-altitude pastures.

The Ruth Summit represents a traditional hiking destination for regional inhabitants who maintain the custom of Sunday mountain excursions.

The ascent from Avril hamlet in L'Escale requires approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes of walking on yellow-marked trails with a 1000-meter elevation gain.

A geodesic marker indicates the highest point of the summit, while the neighboring lower peak provides views across the middle Durance Valley.
