Pic de Crigne, Mountain summit in Dauphiné Prealps at Monêtier-Allemont, France
Pic de Crigne is a mountain summit at 1263 meters in the Bochaine Massif that offers views across the Sisteron basin and Gap region. The climb passes through changing landscapes with juniper and rocky sections that shape the terrain.
The mountain bears traces of human settlement through the remains of the Basse Crigne sheepfold, which belonged to a hamlet inhabited until the early 20th century. These ruins show the historic use of the mountain landscape by shepherds and farmers.
The juniper passage marks a notable point along the trail where the tree assists hikers in crossing a rocky section.
The climb starts from the Petite Queylane parking area on route D942 between Chorges and Sisteron and requires proper footwear for rocky terrain. The visible parking location helps with orientation throughout the ascent.
The ascent maintains visibility of the parking area throughout much of the journey, serving as a reference point for hikers.
