Mont Pelvoux (French:[mɔ̃pɛlvu]) 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:[pwɛ̃tpɥizø]). There are three subpeaks:
Pointe Durand (3,932 m (12,900 ft))
Petit Pelvoux (3,753 m (12,313 ft))
Trois Dents du Pelvoux (3,682 m (12,080 ft))
