Summit, scenic viewpoint

This mountain summit in Puy-Saint-Vincent serves as a viewpoint in the Hautes-Alpes region with access to extensive ski runs during winter. The terrain features multiple descent routes of varying difficulty, connected by modern lift systems.

The region was developed as a winter sports destination during the 1960s, marking the start of winter tourism in the southern French Alps. The area has since undergone continuous infrastructure upgrades and modernization.

Local mountain guides share their expertise of alpine environments through organized expeditions, teaching visitors about high-altitude flora and wildlife.

Visitors can reach the summit during winter season from December through April using modern lift systems operating daily. Accessibility depends on weather conditions, so checking current conditions before visiting is advisable.

North-facing slopes maintain natural snow conditions that last into late spring, allowing for extended skiing in better snow quality. Additional snow-making equipment covers much of the terrain to extend the operating season further.
