Description
Mont Brequin is an Alpine summit in the Vanoise Massif reaching 3131 meters, with jagged terrain and steep rocky flanks that dominate the skyline. It holds several small glaciers and offers sweeping views across the surrounding valleys and distant peaks.
History
The peak attracted Alpine explorers in the 19th century who traced and established the first documented routes to its summit. This period of discovery established it as a recognized objective within the growing culture of mountaineering.
Culture
Local shepherds bring their herds to these pastures during summer, maintaining traditions that shape how the mountain community lives. This way of life connects people directly to the land and its seasons.
