    Hiking

    At 3,210 meters above sea level, the Pain de Sucre marks the border between France and Italy. The summit offers a panoramic view of the French, Swiss and Italian Alps and in particular of two giants of the region: Mont Viso and Mont Blanc!

    Hiking

    3100 meters summit over the Queyras Regional Natural Park.
    Fabulous views over the French Alps (to the Mont-Blanc), Swiss Alps (Mont Rose) and the Italian plain around Torino (at the river Po).
    Here at 6:30 to see the sunrise over Italy.
    At the time headlamp, hiking poles and very good surefootedness are required (gravel road at the summit, hands needed, and tightrope the last few meters)

    Hiking

    a nugget!
    nice climb from the Agnel refuge (a bit sporty at the end).
    what a great reward to discover a
    magnificent 360 degree viewpoint.
