Pic du Tourond, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes, France

The Pic du Tourond reaches an elevation of 2,743 meters and stands at the intersection of three municipalities in the Écrins mountain range.

The geological formation of Pic du Tourond results from Alpine tectonic movements that shaped the Écrins massif over millions of years.

The paths leading to Pic du Tourond cross traditional pastoral areas where shepherds maintain ancient transhumance practices in the French Alps.

The hiking trail to the summit extends 14 kilometers with an elevation gain of 1,187 meters, starting from the Clot Chenu chairlift parking area.

The Tourond stream, originating from the mountain flanks, creates the Pisse waterfall before flowing into the White Drac near Les Borels hamlet.
