Montagne de Lure, Mountain summit in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
The Montagne de Lure extends over 17.7 kilometers, reaching an elevation of 1,534 meters with a lunar-like terrain near its peak point.
The mountain has been a strategic observation point since prehistoric times, with archaeological evidence found in neighboring settlements like Saint-Etienne-des-Orgues and Cruis.
The Paris-Nice cycling race incorporated this mountain in both 2009 and 2013, establishing it as a significant location for competitive cycling events.
The mountain features multiple access points for climbers, with routes from Saint-Étienne-les-Orgues and Valbelle providing well-maintained roads for ascent.
The mountain supports diverse wildlife populations, including red deer, chamois, golden eagles, and the increasingly scarce Spanish juniper vegetation.
