Caire de Cougourde
A view (4 pics. stitched), from the mountain refuge, of the Caire de Cougourde 2897 m alt. (left) and Gaisses peak 2885 m alt. (right). Caire de Cougourde means "the rock with a shape of squash" (or gourd !) in the local idiom. This peak is very well known because it offers many climbing routes (400 m height approx.) of medium to high difficulties. A nice place for climbers and touring skiers. National Park of Mercantour
