Sommet de Château Jouan, Mountain summit in Queyras Massif, France
The Sommet de Château Jouan rises to 2,565 meters above sea level with a prominence of 255 meters in the Hautes-Alpes department.
Fort du Janus, constructed on the mountain slopes, served as a military fortification to protect Briançon against potential Italian invasions through the alpine passes.
The mountain trails connect multiple small alpine communities, maintaining traditional mountain passages that linked French and Italian settlements for centuries.
Hikers can reach the summit through a 12-kilometer trail starting from Montgenèvre, following marked paths and climbing 760 meters in elevation over 5 hours.
The summit houses communication antennas and provides views of multiple mountain ranges including Ecrins, Cerces, Piémont italien, Font Sancte, and Grand Rochebrune.
