Summit, scenic viewpoint

The mountain summit rises above the surrounding landscape, providing clear views of the entire Belledonne range and neighboring valleys throughout all seasons.

The summit has served as a natural landmark for local communities since the Middle Ages, guiding travelers and shepherds through the mountain passages.

Local mountaineering clubs regularly organize guided tours to the summit, teaching visitors about Alpine flora and geological formations specific to this region.

The ascent to the summit requires proper hiking equipment and takes approximately four hours from the base through marked trails accessible from April to October.

During winter solstice, the summit casts a perfect triangular shadow across the valley below, creating a natural sundial effect visible from neighboring villages.
