Château d'Entremont, Medieval castle ruins in Saint-Pierre-d'Entremont, France.
The castle remains stand at 948 meters elevation on a narrow headland, overlooking the deep gorges of Frou and Entremont Valley.
The original structure was built between 1306 and 1339 by the Entremont family, serving as a strategic defensive position until its decline during the French Revolution.
The site forms part of a sketching circuit where visitors follow designated paths while creating drawings of the castle and mountain landscapes.
A 5.8-kilometer loop trail with 346 meters elevation gain leads visitors through bridges over Guiers and Cozon rivers to reach the castle site.
A stone orientation table at the ruins helps visitors identify the names of surrounding mountain peaks in the Chartreuse region.
