Pic Noir

Pic Noir is a mountain summit in the Lauziere range of the French Alps, rising to 2,818 meters. The slopes feature exposed rocky sections and changing vegetation zones that vary with elevation.

The first documented ascents took place in the early 1900s when local climbers explored and recorded the routes to the summit. These routes have remained in use and are part of the region's climbing history.

The summit draws climbers from across the region who share a common passion for Alpine mountaineering. You will encounter other hikers on the slopes, all working toward the same goal of reaching the top.

The climb takes a full day of hiking on marked trails with full mountain gear. Good weather and Alpine experience are important for a safe ascent.

The mountain supports various Alpine plant and animal species adapted to different elevation zones. This diversity is especially visible on the higher slopes where only specialized species can survive.
