Tête Noire, Mountain summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
The limestone peak of Tête Noire rises to an elevation of 2,347 meters, offering views across the surrounding Alpine mountain ranges and valleys.
The summit has been an important reference point for mountaineers exploring the French Alps since the early development of Alpine tourism in the 18th century.
Local shepherds have traditionally used the paths around Tête Noire during summer months to guide their flocks to high-altitude grazing areas.
Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with the main route starting from Plateau des Glières and featuring regular directional signs and paint marks.
The mountain's north face contains specific geological formations that reveal the tectonic movements responsible for creating the Alps millions of years ago.
