Quigouret, Mountain peak in Hautes-Alpes, France

The Quigouret summit rises to 1234 meters within the Luzet mountain range, forming a natural boundary between the Diois region and Bochaine.

During the pre-Senonian period, geological forces shaped Quigouret through successive folds with an East-West axis, creating multiple anticlines and synclines.

Local shepherds maintain traditional pastoral practices around Quigouret, using mountain paths and seasonal cabins for their livestock management.

Hikers can access Quigouret from Vaunières village via a 15.5-kilometer circuit trail, which includes 1210 meters of elevation gain through varied terrain.

The mountain creates a water divide, directing flows between two major river systems: the waters that drain into the Drôme and those flowing into the Buëch.

Location: France
