Grun de Saint-Maurice, Granite summit in Hautes-Alpes, France.

The Grun de Saint-Maurice reaches an elevation of 2,775 meters within the Ecrins massif, providing views across the Champsaur and southern Valgaudemar.

Local shepherds from surrounding valleys have traditionally used the slopes of Grun de Saint-Maurice as summer grazing grounds for their herds.

The peak represents a central element of the Ecrins National Park natural heritage, embodying the mountain identity of the Hautes-Alpes region.

The ascent from Esparcelet hamlet requires a 22.2-kilometer hike with two technical passages near the summit marked by red trail markers.
