Pointe de Cournascle

The Pointe de Cournascle reaches an elevation of 2,854 meters in the French Alps, presenting steep rocky faces and exposed ridges leading to its peak.

Mountain guides from the region began documenting climbing routes to the summit during the late 1800s, establishing the foundation for modern mountaineering activities.

The mountain slopes have supported local shepherding practices for generations, with seasonal grazing patterns continuing through present times.

Climbers require proper alpine equipment and should monitor weather forecasts, as conditions at the summit can change rapidly throughout the day.

The summit contains distinct geological formations that reveal the complex tectonic history of the Alpine mountain range through exposed rock layers.
