Tête de la Dame, Alpine summit in Vercors, France.

The Tête de la Dame reaches an elevation of 1504 meters and features limestone slopes typical of the Vercors massif, with views across surrounding valleys.

The summit of Tête de la Dame functioned as a navigation point for shepherds guiding their flocks through the Vercors plateaus in past centuries.

Local hikers gather each spring for a collective ascent to the summit, maintaining a longstanding tradition in the Drôme department.

The 10.3-kilometer trail from Col de la Bataille requires 4 hours of hiking with an elevation gain of 394 meters on marked paths.

Strong winds reaching 61 mph at the summit have created eroded rock formations that resemble natural sculptures.
