Pointe de Rougnoux, Alpine summit in Écrins National Park, France

Pointe de Rougnoux is a mountain peak in the Hautes-Alpes that rises between three major valleys. The summit offers sweeping views across the surrounding landscape of Écrins National Park.

Pointe de Rougnoux, 3,179 m, belongs to the Embrunais massif in the Dauphiné Alps, within the French department of Hautes-Alpes. Its summit is shared by three valleys: Champoléon, L'Argentière-la-Bessée and Freissinières. The sources record no climbing history, first ascent or mapping date for the peak.

The summit sits at the meeting point of three valleys: Champoléon, L'Argentière-la-Bessée and Freissinières. Its name, Rougnoux, is the one walkers and shepherds of these valleys use for the peak, and the surrounding slopes below the snow line are grazed in summer.

The ascent requires mountaineering experience and safety equipment, best undertaken between June and September. During these months the conditions are more favorable, though weather can still change quickly.

The summit sits on the watershed between the valleys of Champoléon, L'Argentière-la-Bessée and Freissinières, so three different communes meet at the top. Its 3,179 m altitude places it in the Embrunais massif of the Dauphiné Alps, not in the Écrins core.
