This is invalid syntax, it should be

"Cime du Pied de Barry : \"Arêtissime\""

It's a bug in the website (or some other step in the process
incorrectly double-escapes quotation marks). However, the webpage you
linked (https://skitour.fr/topos/8583) is just HTML, it doesn't
contain any JSON AFAICS.
