Tête de Bouchet, Mountain summit in Escreins Massif, French Alps, France.
The Tête de Bouchet summit reaches an elevation of 2,596 meters above sea level, offering views across the surrounding Cottian Alps mountain range.
The mountain has been a reference point for local shepherds since the Middle Ages, guiding them through the paths of the Escreins Massif.
Local mountaineers gather annually at the summit during the summer solstice to mark the beginning of the hiking season in the region.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from the Parc naturel régional du Queyras, with the western route providing the most direct access.
The summit presents a natural observation point to spot the rare Alpine ibex, particularly during their morning feeding periods in spring.
