About
Mont Pelvoux (French: [mɔ̃ pɛlvu]) is a mountain in the Massif des Écrins in the French Alps. It stands 3,946 m (12,946 ft) in elevation.
For many years, Mont Pelvoux was believed to be the tallest mountain in the region, since the taller Barre des Écrins cannot be seen from the Durance valley.
The summit of the mountain is called Pointe Puiseux (French: [pwɛ̃t pɥizø]). There are three subpeaks:
Trois Dents du Pelvoux (3,682 m (12,080 ft))
