Pic Est de Combeynot

Pic Est de Combeynot reaches an elevation of 3,145 meters and stands as part of a natural cirque that opens toward the eastern direction.

The mountain peak was first conquered on July 30, 1905, by mountaineers M. Berge and Paul Halbronner through the eastern face approach.

The mountain forms part of the Écrins National Park, which maintains strict environmental protection measures to preserve the natural mountain landscape.

Access to the summit involves following a gravel road from Lautaret Pass, with ski touring routes requiring approximately 1,100 meters of vertical ascent.

Near the summit lies Lake Combeynot at 2,555 meters, one of the few polar regime lakes in the Alps that thaws only two to three months yearly.
