[fr] Mont Bégo

Le mont Bégo est un sommet situé dans la chaîne des Alpes, dans le massif du Mercantour-Argentera, dans les Alpes-Maritimes (France), proche de la vallée de la Roya. Ce sommet est à l'intérieur du parc national du Mercantour, et occupe une position centrale de la vallée des Merveilles (incluant la vallée de Fontanalbe[2]). Il se trouve néanmoins en limite extérieure de la zone réglementée. Le nom provient d'une racine indo-européenne Beg, qui signifie seigneur divin. Les bergers, à l'origine des gravures dans la vallée des Merveilles il y a 4 000 ans, vénéraient ce sommet, lieu d'une intense activité orageuse en raison de son altitude et de la proximité de la Méditerranée, ainsi que de forts gisements de fer, d’uranium et autres minerais à forte attractivité électrique[3].
