INTRODUCTION

Variously known as the Massif des Écrins, Oisans, Haut Dauphiné or Massif du Pelvoux, the area covered by this guidebook is arguably one of the most visually spectacular in all the Alps. Hung about with glaciers, more than 100 peaks rise to well over 3000m (the Barre des Écrins, which gives its name to the area, is 4102m), while in several valleys rock walls soar to jagged summits too steep to contain either permanent snow or ice. Not surprisingly, for well over 100 years the Massif des Écrins has attracted climbers at the top end of the sport with its wealth of routes – both rock, and snow and ice – of the highest standard.
