Cime de l'Aspre, Mountain summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France

Located at an elevation of 2433 meters, Cime de l'Aspre presents steep slopes and grass-covered terrain in the southern French Alps.

The mountain peak previously housed an astronomical observatory, which was later relocated to Saint-Michel de l'Observatoire in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region.

The name Aspre originates from the French word meaning harsh, reflecting the minimal vegetation growth on the wind-swept mountain peak.

The hiking trail to Cime de l'Aspre starts from Les Tourres hamlet and follows the GR 52A path, marked with white and red signs.

The summit features remnants of scientific installations and provides views extending to the peaks of Ubaye and Mont Pelas from its observation point.
