Tête de Siguret, Alpine summit in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France.
Tête de Siguret is an Alpine summit in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region that rises to about 3000 meters. Its north face displays steep slopes with rocky formations that define the landscape.
The summit sits in a region that saw conflict and destruction during World War II. The hiking route passes near the ruins of settlements that were abandoned during that period.
Local hikers maintain a tradition of night hiking to the summit to observe the stars and sunrise over the Alps.
The hike starts from Certamussat parking and takes about 5 to 6 hours with an elevation gain around 1500 meters. The trail is sparsely marked, so hikers should bring a map and navigation experience.
From the summit on clear days, visitors see four major Alpine ranges: the Ecrins, Mercantour, Queyras, and Ubaye Valley. This panoramic view makes it a special vantage point for observing the region's diverse landscape.
