Sommet de Gache, Mountain summit in Préalpes de Digne, France
Sommet de Gache is a mountain summit in the Préalpes de Digne that reaches 1,357 meters in elevation. The peak sits within a landscape of limestone slopes and forest patches typical of the southern Alpine foothills.
The summit formed millions of years ago during the Alpine mountain-building period when tectonic forces reshaped the Earth's crust. This geological process created the entire 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 route to the top requires map reading skills since marked trails give way to unmarked paths in places. Expect a steady climb with significant elevation gain that demands proper preparation.
From the ridge, hikers gain views across two neighboring valleys at once. Hidden within the surrounding forest stands an unusual cluster of yurts that surprises many visitors.
