Pointe de Rugger, Mountain peak in Alpes-Maritimes, France.
The Pointe de Rugger reaches an elevation of 1,923 meters and features limestone rock faces characteristic of the Southern Alps mountain range.
Nineteenth-century geologists documented this peak's formation during the Alpine orogeny, revealing rock layers over 100 million years old.
Local shepherds maintain the traditional practice of leading their flocks to graze on the slopes of Pointe de Rugger during summer months.
Reaching the summit requires proper hiking equipment and physical preparation for a four-hour ascent from the main parking area.
Marine fossils embedded in the rocks provide evidence of an ancient seabed, allowing geologists to trace the formation of the Alps.
