Tête de Gorgias, Mountain summit in Maritime Alps, France
Located at an elevation of 2,612 meters in the Mercantour-Argentera Massif, Tête de Gorgias features steep slopes and exposed rock formations.
The mountain peak emerged through geological processes during the Alpine orogeny, when tectonic plates collided to form the Maritime Alps range.
Local shepherds have maintained traditional pastoral practices in the surrounding valleys, moving their flocks between seasonal grazing grounds near Tête de Gorgias.
Hikers can access the summit via marked trails from Entraunes village, with the ascent taking approximately four hours during summer months.
The mountain's prominence of 62 meters creates a natural observation point for spotting chamois and golden eagles in the Mercantour National Park.
