Tête de la Frema

Tête de la Frema, Alpine summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.

Tête de la Frema is a 3142 m summit on the main Alpine watershed between the Maira valley and the Ubaye valley, on the border of Acceglio (Cuneo) and Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye. Its three main faces are steep and broken, built of limestone and slate schists of the Briançonnais complex. The normal route climbs from the Gippiera pass over scree, keeping below the crest on the French side.

The summit lies on the main Alpine watershed between the Maira and Ubaye valleys, on the border between Acceglio (Cuneo) and Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye. Its main ridge runs from the Tête de l'Homme past the Terre Nere pass (3035 m) and the Point Fond de Chambeyron, then turns west-southwest to the Gippiera pass (2948 m) before rising to the Brec de Chambeyron. A secondary ridge descends southeast, separating the Stroppia valley from the Vallone dell'Infernetto.

The name comes from Occitan and means "head of the woman". The summit sits on the main Alpine watershed between the Maira valley and the Ubaye valley, on the border of Acceglio and Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye. Walkers on both sides use the Rifugio Stroppia and the Rifugio Chambeyron, and the French approach passes the Lago dei 9 colori.

The normal route starts from Col de Gippiera, reached from the Italian side via Chiappera, Rifugio Stroppia and Bivacco Barenghi (hiking grade E), or from the French side via Fouillouse, Rifugio Chambeyron and the Lago dei 9 Colori (grade EE). Above the col, a path on scree keeps below the ridge on the French side to avoid rock spurs.

On clear days, hikers see several other mountain massifs and can trace the actual border line from the summit itself. This vantage point offers a rare chance to see how geography shaped this political boundary across the Alps.
