Sommet de Serre Bourreau, Mountain summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
Sommet de Serre Bourreau is a mountain summit in the Maritime Alps reaching 2,640 meters elevation. From this point, hikers can see across the Massif du Mercantour-Argentera and the surrounding Alpine peaks.
The summit formed through millions of years of tectonic activity and erosion that shaped the current landscape. These mountains reveal the vast geological history of Alpine mountain building in the region.
Local mountaineering groups organize annual expeditions to the summit, maintaining traditional Alpine climbing practices and recording new ascent routes.
Climbers need proper equipment for high-altitude conditions and should check weather beforehand. The ascent requires good fitness and takes several hours to complete.
Le Gerbier, a higher neighboring peak, stands about 1.4 kilometers to the southeast and is visible from this location. The two summits form a popular climbing route for visitors to this region.
