Mont Chiran, Mountain summit at 1905 meters in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France.
Mont Chiran rises from the Verdon basin with limestone walls dating from the Upper Jurassic period in the Digne Pre-Alps range.
The formation of Mont Chiran occurred approximately 5 million years ago during the Alpine orogeny, shaping the current geological structure.
The mountain observatory serves as an educational center where astronomers guide visitors through the exploration of celestial objects.
A mountain shelter provides accommodation for hikers and astronomy enthusiasts who wish to spend the night observing the stars.
The summit offers a 360-degree panorama extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Mercantour massif and the Écrins mountain range.
