Fourchet, Mountain summit in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
Located at coordinates 44.01723 latitude and 6.43467 longitude, Fourchet rises to 1227 meters above sea level in the French Alps mountain range.
The formation of Fourchet occurred through geological processes during the Alpine orogeny, when tectonic plates collided to create the mountains of southern France.
Local shepherds traditionally guide their flocks across the mountain slopes during summer months, maintaining centuries-old pastoral practices in the region.
The summit can be reached through marked hiking trails that connect to nearby municipalities, with parking areas available at designated trailheads.
The north face of Fourchet contains rare mineral formations that date back to the Jurassic period, attracting geologists for scientific research.
