Monte Palavas, Alpine summit in Queyras, France
Monte Palavas rises to 2929 meters in elevation, offering views across the valleys of Bouchet, Urine, and Guil within the French Alps.
The mountain stands as a geological formation shaped through millions of years of tectonic movements, creating the distinct rocky features visible today.
Local mountain communities maintain traditional practices and crafts, while the Queyras National Park promotes environmental preservation through educational programs.
Access to Monte Palavas begins at Guillestre, continues through Abriès to Roux, and requires parking at Valpréveyre before starting the ascent.
The summit demands a challenging 1100-meter elevation gain through unmarked routes, leading climbers through varied terrain and rocky passages.
