L'Alienard

L'Alienard is a mountain summit in the southeastern French Alps that reaches 1,390 meters in elevation. From the peak, you can see across the surrounding Alpine landscape in multiple directions.

Shepherds used the summit as a landmark for centuries while moving livestock through mountain passages during seasonal migrations. These pastoral routes shaped how the peak has been traveled and understood over generations.

Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional climbing routes to L'Alienard's peak, preserving the heritage of Alpine exploration.

Marked trails lead up the mountain but vary significantly in difficulty and require proper mountain gear. Check weather conditions before you go, as conditions on the peak can change throughout the day.

Winds from the south and southwest create distinctive weather patterns that directly affect climbing conditions at the summit. Experienced climbers study these patterns to identify the best days for ascending.
