Tête de l'Homme, Mountain summit in the French Alps, France.
Located at an elevation of 2,765 meters, Tête de l'Homme features steep rock faces and narrow ridges overlooking the surrounding alpine valleys.
The mountain has served as a critical navigation point for local shepherds and mountaineers since the early development of alpine routes in the 19th century.
The name Tête de l'Homme derives from the mountain's profile, which local residents have long associated with the silhouette of a human head.
Climbers need technical equipment and solid mountaineering experience to reach the summit, with summer months offering the most favorable conditions.
The summit provides direct views of multiple geological formations that showcase the tectonic forces responsible for creating the Alpine mountain range.
