The Pic de Panestrel (3254 m) geology is a complex ensemble of faults and folds. The defomerd stratigraphic sequence is composed by layers of Triassic limestone and dolostones, Jurassic limestone and Late Jurassic- Cretaceous “Marbres en Plaquettes” (a calcschist formation very present in the Ubaye Valley).
