Sommet de Mouchon, Mountain summit in Prealpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
The Sommet de Mouchon reaches an elevation of 1174 meters, featuring dense forests and multiple hiking trails through the surrounding valleys.
The name Mouchon originates from the small gnats that gather near the wooded summit during the month of August.
The slopes of Sommet de Mouchon contain numerous lavender fields that have supported the local economy through essential oil production.
Hikers can access the summit through various routes, including the Castellet path leading to the plateau or the steeper eastern forest trail from Hyeges.
The Col de la Baumeniere approach to the summit follows an overgrown path where deer frequently appear along the southern ridge.
