Grande Séolane

The Grande Séolane reaches an elevation of 2,909 meters and features distinctive rock faces that form natural boundaries between Méolans-Revel, Les Thuiles, and Uvernet-Fours communes.

The limestone plateau at the summit contains geological formations from the sub-Briançonnais zone, indicating significant tectonic activity during the Alpine mountain formation period.

Local mountaineering traditions have established multiple climbing routes to the summit, with each path carrying names that reflect the regional heritage and natural features.

Access to the summit requires moderate climbing skills, with the most common route starting from Col des Thuiles and including a straightforward climbing section above the pass.

The southeastern corridor, known as Lou Cheminet, presents a marked alpine hiking path through characteristic limestone formations, despite occasional unstable rock conditions.
