Bertagne, Mountain summit in Gémenos, France.

The Pic de Bertagne rises to form the westernmost point of the Sainte-Baume massif, featuring limestone cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation throughout its slopes.

The mountain site contains an ancient ice house built before 1642, when two merchants received royal permission to construct glacières for ice storage in Provence.

The Marseille Hiking Society was established at the mountain's glacier site on March 28, 1897, marking the beginning of organized mountain activities in the region.

The hiking trail spans 9.5 kilometers round trip with a 530-meter elevation gain, requiring approximately 4 hours to complete from the Saint-Pons Park entrance.

From its peak, observers can see the Mediterranean Sea, Corsica, the Maritime Alps, and distant mountain ranges including Mont Lozère and Massif du Madrès.
