The "Barre des Ecrins"
The highest point ... the objective : La Barre des Écrins (PD ; 4102 m)
We can do the East ridge (it's the normal route) from the Écrins refuge:
It requires 5 hours of walk with one on the "Glacier Blanc" to reach the refuge. Next day, after a climb on the face toward the Lory notch, the ridge is an easy and exposed climb.
For 2 persons the guide rate is 520 € and I can lend you technical gears (harness, helmet, ice tool).
The "Barre" is a little harder but again better by going across from west to east. Price for two persons is 560 €.
It can also be done from La Bérarde by going across from South to North. It is a long and very wild course. Price is 780 €.
Of course its south pillar with 1000 m climb (V) is also a "must". Price has to be negotiated ...

At last, the "dôme des Écrins" on the left gives a superb view at more than 4000 m with an easy climb : Price is 440 € for 4 persons maximum.

Dôme can also be done during springtime ! |
| To be better
acclimated and to have a first contact with rock ; the solution : to
take one more day to climb the South ridge of Pic du Glacier Blanc which lead us from the first refuge (Glacier Blanc) towards the Écrins refuge for the next day. The climb is beautiful and quite easy : level IV maximum. For 300 € more. |
