Pointe de Pécé, Alpine summit in Hautes-Alpes, France

Pointe de Pécé rises to 2733 meters in elevation within the Cerces massif, presenting panoramic views across the surrounding valleys of the Cottian Alps.

The paths leading to Pointe de Pécé were established in the early 20th century by local shepherds who guided their flocks through these alpine pastures.

Hikers ascending Pointe de Pécé participate in the French alpine tradition of building stone cairns to mark high-altitude paths for fellow mountaineers.
