Tête de l'Estrop

Tête de l'Estrop, Mountain summit in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France.

Tête de l'Estrop is a sandstone summit in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence that dominates the local Alpine skyline. The mountain attracts both hikers and climbers, with several approach routes and opportunities for canyoning on its slopes.

The mountain has been a known climbing and hiking destination for many decades in this Alpine region. Its prominent position on the border between two communities has made it a natural reference point in the local geography.

The mountain forms a natural boundary between two villages and shapes how locals see this part of the Alps. Hikers recognize it as an unmistakable landmark that guides them through the terrain.

The climb requires solid footing and a head for heights, especially on sandy sections and steep drops. Start early, bring plenty of water, and watch the weather, as conditions in the mountains can change quickly.

The mountain hosts rare Alpine plant species adapted to extreme elevation and sandy soils found nowhere else nearby. This vegetation transforms the climb into a journey through distinct ecological zones stacked one above the other.
