Pointe de Celse Nière

The Pointe de Celse Nière reaches an elevation of 3,202 meters and features steep rocky terrain surrounded by the Ailefroide, Glacier Noir, and Glacier Blanc formations.

The summit has been a reference point for mountaineers since the early days of alpine exploration, marking routes between Oisans and the Vallon de la Pilatte regions.

Local mountaineering traditions center around this peak, where experienced guides pass their knowledge to new generations through established climbing routes and techniques.

Climbers need crampons and ice axes to navigate the challenging terrain, particularly when ascending the ridge between Clapouse Glacier and Rascrouset Glacier.

The northeast gully of Bosse de Clapouse presents a technical climbing route that connects to the summit through a series of natural rock formations.
