Aiguille de Chambeyron, Mountain summit in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
Aiguille de Chambeyron rises to 3,412 meters elevation in the Cottian Alps, standing as the highest peak in the Alps south of Monte Viso.
The mountain witnessed its first recorded ascent in 1879 when mountaineers W.A.B. Coolidge and Christian Almer reached its western summit.
Military personnel erected a metal cross at the summit on June 23, 2006, marking this highest point of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department.
The ascent begins in Fouillouse village and involves a 16-kilometer trek with a 1,600-meter elevation gain to reach Chambeyron refuge.
Two small glaciers on the northern face have gradually disappeared over time, reflecting the environmental changes in the Alpine region.
