Massif des Écrins
La Meije is a mountain in the Massif des Écrins range, located at the border of the Hautes-Alpes and Isère "départements". It overlooks the nearby village of La Grave, a mountaineering centre and ski resort, well known for its off-piste and extreme skiing possibilities, and also dominates the view west of the Col du Lautaret. It is the second highest mountain of the Écrins after the Barre des Écrins.
