Pointe Haute de Mary

The Pointe Haute de Mary rises to 3,212 meters in elevation, making it the highest peak of the Maniglia-Mary mountain chain between Mary and Autaret valleys.

In July 1879, mountaineers William Auguste Coolidge and the Almer family, father and son, completed the first documented ascent of Pointe Haute de Mary.

The mountain forms part of the French Alpine landscape, marking the geographical border between different valleys in the Haute-Ubaye region of southeastern France.

Climbers access the summit from Jausiers through the Ubaye Valley, starting at 1,900 meters elevation with a total ascent of 1,300 meters over one day.

The southeast ridge route includes a technical 15-meter chimney section with a fixed piton, requiring specific climbing equipment and advanced mountaineering skills.
