Tête de Couleau, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes, France.
The Tête de Couleau rises to 3042 meters above sea level in the Massif des Écrins, featuring steep rocky slopes and challenging terrain configurations.
The mountain peak has served as a natural boundary marker between different alpine communities since the establishment of territorial divisions in the French Alps.
Local mountaineering groups organize annual expeditions to Tête de Couleau, maintaining traditional alpine climbing techniques and safety protocols specific to this region.
Climbers access the summit through a marked trail from Saint-Clément-sur-Durance, requiring technical equipment and approximately eight hours for the complete round trip.
The mountain's structure includes a distinctive cat head formation, visible from specific angles during the approach from the Vallon de Méan valley.
