The large-scale deformation of high mountain slopes finds its origin in many phenomena with very different time-constants. Gravitational effect, tectonic forces, and water infiltration are generally the principal causes. However, it is always very difficult to distinguish which cause is dominant and which are their respective effects. A two-dimensional numerical experiment coupled with geophysical approach was carried out to determine (1) the effect of gravitational force on the mechanical behaviour of the “la Clapière” area, (2) a 2D-depth structure of this landslide. The results show that gravitational instability is possible and leads to destabilisation of the massif by a regressive evolution of the landslide from the bottom at 1100 m up to a height of 1800 m, which is actually the top of the La Clapière landslide. This deformation progression only concerns a depth of around 150 ± 50 m, which can be correlated to the sliding surface, as suggested by our electrical data obtained by resistivity investigations and previous studies. Our numerical results suggest that changes of the slope topography “drive” the diffusion of the plastic deformation in the mass, possibly through a channel which could be then the privileged zone along which the fracture is initiated.
