Sommet de Calern

The summit of Calern rises to 1458 meters and features a loop trail stretching across 8.72 kilometers through the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

The location has served as a center for astronomical studies, with research facilities established on the plateau to take advantage of favorable observation conditions.

Local residents maintain an active grotto chapel called Notre-Dame de Calern, where visitors leave photographs and offerings following regional traditions.

The hiking path begins in Caussols, with parking available at the town hall, and follows the GR4 trail before branching onto Church Path and Notre-Dame path.

The summit combines geological formations with an astronomical observatory, allowing visitors to study both terrestrial landscapes and celestial objects from one location.
