Mont Mounier from the Col de l'Espaul
Mont Mounier (2,817m) is one of the must-see peaks in the Alpes Maritimes: magnificent panoramas, 360° views from the summit, a beautiful ridge at the end, a fairly steady and easy 1,100m climb with views of the summit almost all the way.
Dôme de Barrot, Cime du Pra and Tête de la Colombière
A walk starting from Valberg that crosses the resort’s ski area and a wilder section towards the end. From the top of these peaks, a remarkably colourful landscape unfolds below, featuring the characteristic red rocks of the Cians and Daluis. You can also admire the 360° views of the peaks (Mont Saint-Honorat on one side, Le Mounier and the Cime Nègre above Valberg on the other, etc.)
Mont Pelat from the Col de la Cayolle
A very accessible 3,000-metre peak with magnificent views of Lac d'Allos and a 360° panorama. The hike is superb, with lakes, marmots and chamois along the route.
Mont Cimet via the southern ridge
A superb hike in the Mercantour National Park, with a beautiful ridge leading to a summit over 3,000 metres high. Le Cimet, neighbouring Le Pelat and about thirty metres lower, offers a magnificent panorama on a clear day. The hike starts from the Vieux Brec bridge on the Col de la Cayolle road.
