Sommet de Tourap, Mountain peak in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France.
Description
Sommet de Tourap is a mountain peak in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence with an elevation of about 1,050 meters (3,445 feet). Several marked trails wind through natural terrain to reach the summit.
History
French cartographers surveyed the region systematically in the 19th century, documenting the mountain ranges in detailed maps. This work laid the foundation for modern geographic understanding of the area.
Culture
The slopes have long been shaped by shepherding traditions, with flocks moving up the mountainside each summer to graze on Alpine pastures. This seasonal rhythm remains visible in how the land is used and cared for by local communities today.
Practical
The trails remain accessible throughout the year, but hiking conditions are most favorable between May and October. During these months the weather is more stable and the paths are easier to navigate.

From the summit visitors can watch bird flocks during migration periods as they cross the mountains. Clear days reveal unobstructed views across neighboring valleys and peaks all around.
