Pic d'Escreins, Mountain peak in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
The Pic d'Escreins stands at 2,661 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and distinct limestone formations in the Hautes-Alpes department.
The Val d'Escreins area became a designated natural reserve in 1964, later incorporated into the Parque Naturel Regional du Queyras during 1977.
The mountain trails display numerous directional markers that guide hikers through traditional alpine paths used by local communities for generations.
Hikers can access the summit through a 13-kilometer round trip from the Val d'Escreins parking area, following the GRP Tour de la Font-Sancte trail.
The summit presents views extending from the Ecrins mountains to Mont Blanc, with visible peaks stretching across the French and Italian border.
