Dôme de Neige des Écrins, Alpine summit in Massif des Écrins, France.
The Dôme de Neige des Écrins reaches an elevation of 4015 meters and stands as a secondary peak of Barre des Écrins in the Western Alps.
The first documented ascent occurred on July 27, 1877, when Pierre Gaspard and his son guided Emmanuel Boileau de Castelnau to the summit.
The Écrins National Park protects this mountain which serves as a traditional challenge for French mountaineers in training.
The climb starts from Pré de Madame Carle at 1874 meters, with possible overnight stays at Glacier Blanc or Écrins mountain refuges.
The passage through Brèche Lory at 3974 meters presents climbers with a choice between continuing to Barre des Écrins or traversing to the Dome.
