Mont Guillaume, Alpine summit in Embrun, France

Mont Guillaume reaches an elevation of 2542 meters, presenting views of Lake Serre-Ponçon and the surrounding mountains of the French Alps.

Lieutenant Charles Eric Widman of the 28th Alpine Hunters Battalion completed the first ski ascent in 1897, reaching the summit in 5 hours and 30 minutes.

A chapel at the Séyères pass hosts a traditional pilgrimage from Embrun town every second Sunday of July, drawing local residents and visitors.

The hiking trail begins at the forest parking area at 1587 meters, which can be reached from the Caleyère hamlet in Embrun.

The paths cross through a larch forest where wild edelweiss and génépi plants grow, with the latter being used in local spirit production.
