Le Palastre, Mountain peak in Hautes-Alpes, France.
Le Palastre rises to an elevation of 2,278 meters within the Écrins massif, presenting a distinct silhouette against the French Alpine landscape.
The mountain received its first documented geological survey during the 1800s when French military geographers mapped the entire Hautes-Alpes region.
Local shepherds maintain the centuries-old practice of transhumance, guiding their flocks through the mountain's grazing areas during summer months.
The summit requires a four-hour hike from the nearest parking area, with proper mountain gear recommended due to terrain variations.
The northern face displays remarkable parallel limestone layers, creating natural staircases visible from considerable distances across the valley.
