Massif des Trois-Évêchés

Massif des Trois-Évêchés (French pronunciation: [masif de tʁwaz‿eveʃe]; Occitan: Massís dei Tres Eveschats; lit.

The Montagne de Cordœil, of a more modest size and elevation [2,114 metres (6,936 ft)], is completely isolated from the rest of the massif, the Verdon to the east and the Issole to the north and west.

The massif of the Trois-Évêchés consists of sedimentary rock, mostly sandstones and marls, typical of the pre-Alps.

On 24 March 2015, Andreas Lubitz, co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525, who was reported to have had mental health problems, deliberately crashed the plane into the massif, after he locked the Captain out of the cockpit.

[1][2] The massif contains, amongst others, two canyoning descents of high and exceptional level: Male Vasudevan and Bussing.
