Pic des Houerts, Mountain summit in Queyras massif, France
The Pic des Houerts rises to 3,235 meters in the Cottian Alps, featuring steep rock faces and expansive views across the surrounding valleys.
The summit has served as a natural boundary marker between the Hautes-Alpes and Alpes de Haute Provence regions since the territorial divisions of France.
Local mountain guides maintain generations-old traditions by leading expeditions to the peak while sharing knowledge of Alpine navigation and safety techniques.
Access to Pic des Houerts begins at the Sainte Catherine parking area at 1,793 meters, requiring technical climbing equipment and winter mountaineering experience.
The mountain's northern face contains multiple glacial formations that persist through summer, creating specialized microclimates for rare Alpine plant species.
