Pic de Béal-Traversier

The Pic de Béal-Traversier rises to an elevation of 2,910 meters, offering extensive views across the surrounding Alpine ranges of the Hautes-Alpes department.

The mountain has been a significant geographical reference point since the early mapping expeditions of the French Alps during the 18th century cartographic surveys.

The peak serves as a regular checkpoint during the Grand Béal ski mountaineering competition, drawing athletes from across the Alpine regions to test their skills.

Multiple ski touring routes lead to the summit, with access points beginning at different elevations between 1,600 and 2,300 meters depending on snow conditions.

The northern slopes maintain consistent snow coverage throughout winter, creating favorable conditions for ski touring from December through early spring.
