Pic de Chamoissière

The Pic de Chamoissière rises to an elevation of 3,207 meters, presenting steep rocky slopes and multiple climbing routes through the French Alps landscape.

The mountain formation dates back to the Alpine orogeny period, when tectonic movements created the distinct geological features visible in its rock layers.

Local mountain guides pass down traditional climbing techniques specific to this peak, maintaining a connection between generations of mountaineers in the region.

Access to the summit requires technical climbing equipment, proper physical preparation, and careful weather monitoring, particularly during the summer climbing season.

The mountain's northern face contains a vertical gain of 1,600 meters, making it one of the most substantial elevation changes in the Hautes-Alpes department.
