Sommet de Pompe

The Sommet de Pompe rises to 1500 meters, featuring diverse terrain with forested slopes and alpine meadows across the mountainous landscape of southeastern France.

The summit stands within the Prealps of Digne, a geological formation that has shaped the development of local communities throughout the centuries in Haute-Provence.

Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices in the alpine pastures near the summit, continuing centuries-old methods of livestock management in the region.

The ascent follows unmarked paths from Chanolles village through dense forest sections, requiring navigation skills and proper hiking equipment for the 700-meter elevation gain.

The summit provides access to both forest trails and alpine zones, with a mountain cabin situated in the pasture of Pompe at 1520 meters.
