Tête de Méric, Mountain summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
Tête de Méric is a mountain summit in the French Alps within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The peak stands at approximately 2,750 meters (9,022 feet) high and offers broad views across the surrounding Alpine terrain and valleys.
The summit formed through the Alpine mountain-building process that occurred millions of years ago. The rock layers visible here document the geological forces that shaped this southeastern Alpine region.
Local mountaineering associations maintain several marked paths to reach the summit, contributing to the preservation of traditional Alpine hiking routes.
The summit is best visited during warmer months between June and September when weather conditions are most stable for outdoor activities. Hiking trails lead to the top, though it is wise to start early and be prepared for changing weather at elevation.
The position of Tête de Méric offers views extending across multiple valleys of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region on clear weather days.
