Grand Morgon, Mountain peak in French Alps, France
Grand Morgon rises to an elevation of 2,324 meters, marking the highest point between the communes of Pontis and Savines-le-Lac in southeastern France.
The summit has served as a natural boundary marker between the Hautes-Alpes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence departments since their administrative division in the French Revolution.
Local mountaineering groups organize annual summer expeditions to Grand Morgon, teaching participants about Alpine navigation and safety protocols.
The main hiking trail to Grand Morgon summit starts from Savines-le-Lac, following marked paths through Morgon's circus for approximately four hours of climbing.
From the summit platform, visitors can observe both the Abbey of Boscodon and the artificial Lake Serre-Ponçon, created by damming the Durance River.
