Soleil-Boeuf, Mountain summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.

The Soleil-Boeuf summit reaches an elevation of 2,353 meters and features different slope gradients suitable for winter sports and outdoor activities in summer.

The area gained recognition through the construction of the Pinerolo-Briancon connecting road in 1921, marked by a Napoleon I commemorative obelisk.

The mountain region includes military structures from both World Wars, including a sealed gallery that stands as evidence of strategic Alpine defense positions.

The location offers 18 kilometers of mixed terrain paths, combining paved roads and dirt tracks, accessible from mid-May through mid-October for hiking and cycling.

The mountain serves as a training ground for national athletes, with a dedicated asphalt path created in the 1990s for marathon runners and cross-country skiers.
