Pic de Rochebrune

Pic de Rochebrune is a mountain summit in the Cottian Alps that rises to 3324 meters in Hautes-Alpes. The peak features steep rock walls and offers far-reaching views across the valleys of the Queyras region from its top.

This mountain formed millions of years ago through tectonic movements that shaped the Cottian Alps. Its geological structure reveals the slow processes that created the alpine landscape we see today.

Local shepherds and mountaineers pass down their knowledge of Pic de Rochebrune trails and weather patterns to younger generations.

This climb demands mountaineering skills and specialized equipment due to steep and exposed terrain. Reaching the top requires good fitness and experience with alpine conditions.

The mountain stands out dramatically from its surroundings thanks to its prominence of around 1000 meters, which sets it clearly apart from neighboring peaks. This notable elevation makes it a distinct landmark in the Queyras skyline.
