Tête de Travers, Mountain summit in Mercantour National Park, France
Standing at 2,160 meters above sea level, Tête de Travers rises in the Maritime Alps with a prominence of 30 meters from surrounding terrain.
The mountain gained recognition as part of the protected geological reserve system established in Haute Provence during the twentieth century.
Local shepherds maintain traditional Alpine farming practices in the meadows surrounding Tête de Travers during summer grazing seasons.
Hikers can reach the summit through a moderate 13-kilometer trail starting from Castellet-lès-Sausses, with a total elevation gain of 900 meters.
