The Homme de Pierre Viewpoint is one of Risoul's must-see locations.
This hike leads to one of the resort's most spectacular viewpoints, offering breathtaking panoramas over the Écrins Massif, Lake Serre-Ponçon and the surrounding valleys.
The trail first winds through beautiful larch forests before gradually reaching the high mountain landscapes. Along the ascent, several picnic areas provide the perfect opportunity to take a break while enjoying the scenery.
Reaching the viewpoint is well worth the effort. Facing the majestic peaks of the Southern Alps, visitors can take time to admire the vast landscapes and the remarkable diversity of the mountains surrounding Risoul.
For those looking for a shorter walk, it is also possible to reach the summit using the Homme de Pierre chairlift and enjoy only the high-altitude section of the hike.
An iconic route combining mountain discovery with exceptional panoramic views.
