Pic des Pavéous, Mountain summit in Écrins National Park, France.
Pic des Pavéous is a mountain summit in the French Alps standing at approximately 3,300 meters within Écrins National Park. The peak sits amid rock faces, snow patches, and alpine meadows that define this section of the range.
The summit took shape through millions of years of tectonic activity that built the French Alps. Glacial movements during ice ages then carved the current mountain forms.
Local mountain guides maintain traditional climbing routes to the summit, passing knowledge of safe passages through generations of mountaineers.
The climb requires alpine equipment and should only be attempted in good weather. Hikers should start early and watch for quickly changing mountain conditions.
The summit provides views of multiple glaciers, including Glacier d'Arsine, Glacier de Seguret-Foran, and Glacier Noir from a single vantage point.
