Sommet de Gache, Mountain summit in Préalpes de Digne, France
Located in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department, Sommet de Gache reaches an elevation of 1,357 meters with a prominence of 194 meters above the surrounding landscape.
The formation of Sommet de Gache dates back millions of years to the Alpine orogeny, when tectonic forces shaped the mountainous terrain of southeastern France.
Local mountain communities maintain traditional Alpine practices around Sommet de Gache, including seasonal pastoralism and regional food preparation methods passed through generations.
The 5.5-kilometer round trip to the summit requires navigation skills as the path remains unmarked beyond certain points, with an elevation gain of 350 meters.
From the summit ridge, hikers can observe both the Vallée du Buëch and Vallée de la Durance while passing mysterious yurts hidden within the forest.
