Cirque de Morgon, Natural cirque in Crots, France
The cirque forms an oval shape in the Hautes-Alpes department, stretching 4 kilometers in length and 2 kilometers in width at altitudes between 1900-2381 meters.
The Notre-Dame de Boscodon abbey monks maintained ownership of Mount Morgon during medieval times, using its slopes for summer livestock grazing.
Every June 29, on Saint Peter's feast day, local residents participate in a traditional procession to Lake Morgon, continuing centuries-old practices.
The hiking trail spans 12.1 kilometers through the Boscodon National Forest, starting at Fontaine de l'Ours parking lot with red and yellow trail markers.
Students from Embrun professional high school reconstructed the mountain chapel in June 1992, completing the entire project in just fifteen days.
