Le Gargas, Mountain summit in Alpes Isère, France.
The limestone peak of Le Gargas reaches an altitude of 2208 meters and contains multiple ridges extending across the Alpine landscape.
The summit path follows ancient shepherd routes that connected the valleys of Isère to the Notre-Dame de La Salette sanctuary since medieval times.
Local mountaineers gather annually at Le Gargas summit to celebrate the traditional Alpine crossing ceremony during the summer solstice.
The ascent takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes, covering 4.63 kilometers with a 400-meter elevation gain from the Notre-Dame de La Salette parking area.
The summit offers unobstructed views of three different mountain ranges: the Ecrins, Vercors, and Dévoluy massifs from a single vantage point.
