Le Caire, Mountain summit in Méolans-Revel, France.
Le Caire is a mountain summit in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence that rises to 2408 meters above sea level. Its position offers broad views across the surrounding Alpine valleys and ridges.
The peak sits within territory that served as a natural boundary between Alpine communities during medieval times. This geographical division shaped settlement patterns and land use in the surrounding region.
Local shepherds still practice seasonal grazing on the slopes, helping to maintain the Alpine meadows that define this landscape.
The climb starts from marked trails beginning in Meolands-Revel and typically takes about four hours during summer. It is best to start early and check weather conditions before heading out.
From the top you can see both the Serre-Poncpon reservoir and the Ubaye Valley at the same time, two very different landscapes in one view. This double perspective makes it a special observation point for photographers and nature watchers.
