Cousson, Free flight site and mountain summit in Entrages, France.
Mount Cousson rises to 1516 meters in the Alps of Haute-Provence, between the valleys of Bléone and Asse, overlooking the city of Digne-les-Bains.
The Saint Michel Chapel of Cousson, documented since 1035, housed a monastic community until the 15th century on a rocky spur of the mountain.
Each Monday of Pentecost, local residents maintain the tradition of annual pilgrimage to the Saint Michel Chapel at the summit of Cousson.
The 11.5-kilometer hiking trail starts from the village of Entrages, crosses pine and beech forests, requiring about four hours and thirty minutes to complete.
The mountain hosts a population of chamois weighing between 25 and 50 kilograms, with summer coats ranging from beige-gray to yellowish-gray.
