La Cucumelle, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes, France
The peak reaches an elevation of 2,698 meters and features steep slopes covered with slate rock formations leading to a narrow summit.
The mountain has long served as a geographic marker within the Massif des Écrins range, guiding travelers through the French Alps passages.
Local mountaineers maintain a wooden cross at the summit, marking this point as a traditional gathering spot for alpine communities.
The ascent requires proper hiking equipment and good weather conditions, with access facilitated by the le Bachas chairlift during summer months.
The mountain presents a distinctive cone shape with light-colored peaks, visible from multiple vantage points throughout the Monêtier-les-Bains region.
