Mont Gaspard, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes, France.

Located in the Massif des Écrins, Pic Gaspard reaches an elevation of 3,883 meters with steep faces and exposed ridges characterizing its profile.

Henry Duhamel completed the first ascent of Pic Gaspard on July 6, 1878, accompanied by Pierre Gaspard, his eldest son, and Christophe Roderon.

The mountain bears the name of Pierre Gaspard, a notable French mountain guide who achieved the first ascent of La Meije in 1877.

Climbers can access the summit through the eastern route, which presents moderate technical difficulties and requires proper alpine climbing equipment.

From Pic Gaspard, photographer Marc Bret captured the longest photographed line of sight in the world, spanning 443 kilometers to Pic de Finestrelles.
