Cime de la Calmette

Cime de la Calmette is a mountain summit in the Préalpes de Nice with rocky formations visible from its upper slopes. The peak sits between several valleys and connects to a network of regional trails and passes.

The summit once had a ski lift serving two alpine runs that was removed in 2017. The installation was then converted to serve summer visitors with a different activity.

The mountain belongs to the Préalpes de Nice range and connects to multiple cross-country skiing paths leading toward the former Peïra-Cava ski resort.

Hikers can start their climb from Moulinet, a village at lower elevation near the summit. Marked trails cover varying terrain, so sturdy footwear and navigation aids are useful for the journey.

Visitors can observe different vegetation zones along the route, transitioning from dense forest to exposed rocky areas as elevation increases. This shift in plant life shows how conditions change at higher altitudes.
