Les Trois Évêchés, Alpine summit in Massif des Trois-Évêchés, France.

Les Trois Évêchés reaches an elevation of 2,818 meters with a prominence of 107 meters in the Provence Alps and Prealps mountain range.

The mountain received its name from the historical boundaries where three episcopal dioceses of Digne, Embrun, and Senez intersected at this location.

Mountain shepherds continue the Alpine pastoral traditions by leading their flocks through the high-altitude pastures surrounding the mountain peak.

Hikers can reach the summit via a marked trail starting from the Laverq mountain shelter, located 806 meters southwest of the peak.

The peak stands within protected areas including Mercantour National Park and the Geological Reserve of Haute Provence, preserving local species.
