Sommet de Cousson, Mountain summit in Préalpes de Digne, France.

The Cousson summit reaches an elevation of 1516 meters and presents extensive views across the Southern Alps and the Digne-les-Bains valley.

Saint-Michel Chapel, established during the ninth century by Sainte-Victoire Abbey, stands on a rocky pillar near the Cousson summit.

An art installation by Richard Jonas features 77 oak doors connecting the two peaks of Cousson, representing the journey between past and future.

The hiking trail from Entrages extends 12 kilometers with a 750-meter elevation gain, requiring approximately four and a half hours to complete.

During spring, thousands of wild tulips naturally bloom across the mountain slopes of Cousson, creating natural patterns on the terrain.
