Vieux Chaillol, Alpine summit in Écrins National Park, France
The Vieux Chaillol peak reaches an elevation of 3,163 meters, forming a distinct silhouette within the Massif des Écrins mountain range.
The Herbeys canal, spanning 28 kilometers near Vieux Chaillol, was constructed by François Dupont de Poncharra to provide irrigation during dry summer periods.
The mountain paths around Vieux Chaillol connect multiple valleys where residents maintain traditional Alpine farming and community practices.
Hikers can start their ascent from Chaillol 1600 village or Saint-Michel-de-Chaillol, with both routes requiring a full day to reach the summit.
The Cabane des Parisiens mountain shelter stands 1,143 meters southeast of the summit, providing a rest point for mountaineers.
