Pointe de Jacquette

Pointe de Jacquette is a mountain summit standing around 2700 meters high, shaped by narrow paths along a ridge. These trails offer views over the high Queyras massif and the Ubaye valley below.

The mountain paths around the summit served shepherds and farmers as transportation routes for many generations. These historic trails continue to shape how people move through the high alpine landscape today.

The region has long been home to mountaineers and guides who share knowledge of safe routes among themselves. Visitors encounter people who understand the mountains as a living space they use and respect daily.

The northern approach starts from St Veran and follows ridge sections, while an alternative begins at Col des Estronques. Both routes require alpine climbing experience and solid physical fitness.

The northern flank below Tête de Jacquette features a narrow rock shelf that demands technical climbing skills. This exposed section is one of the most demanding parts of the route and requires nerve and sure-footedness.
