Trois-Évêchés is a mountain peak in the French Alps located within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region at an elevation of around 2,800 meters. Multiple hiking trails lead to its summit, which offers views across several valleys below.
The name originates from the Middle Ages when this location marked the boundary of three bishoprics: Digne, Embrun, and Senez. This connection to historic religious territories is preserved in local tradition.
The summit serves as a meeting point where different valleys converge, and hikers use it as a natural landmark to navigate between communities. The trails that converge here still connect various villages across the region.
The ascent is relatively accessible in good weather, though conditions can change quickly at this elevation. A mountain shelter is located nearby if you need to stay overnight or gather information about routes.
This peak ranks high among hundreds of mountains within a protected geological reserve of the region. Its location at the boundary of historic territories gives it special significance as a geographical reference point in these Alps.
