Defens de Pierre-Mont, Mountain summit in Préalpes Sisteronnaises, France
The Defens de Pierre-Mont reaches an elevation of 1563 meters and stands at the end of the Vançon Valley, overlooking the hamlet of Feissal.
The geological structures of this peak in the Préalpes Sisteronnaises reveal the tectonic movements that shaped this mountainous region over millions of years.
The Mountain Group of Peyrolles-en-Provence regularly conducts hiking expeditions to this summit, maintaining local hiking traditions in the French Pre-Alps.
Reaching the summit requires a 14.6-kilometer hike with 480 meters of elevation gain, which takes approximately four hours and thirty minutes to complete.
The deserted hamlet of Feissal along the trail maintains structures that provide temporary shelter during warmer months of the year.
