ClimbingEdit
The normal route to the summit starts from the tiny village of Villar-d'Arêne near the Col du Lautaret. Despite its height and steepness the mountain is relatively easy to climb. The reward from the top is a great view across the Dauphiné Alps, which includes the mighty north face of the Barre des Écrins.
