Cime de Bellegarde, Mountain summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.

Cime de Bellegarde is a mountain summit in southeastern France that stands at 1366 meters above sea level. The peak rises from the surrounding landscape and serves as a notable geographical marker in this part of the Alps.

The summit has long served as a landmark for shepherds and travelers crossing the alpine terrain. Its prominent position made it an easily recognizable feature in this Mediterranean region.

Local hiking groups maintain traditional annual gatherings at the summit, continuing a regional practice of mountain appreciation through organized group ascents.

Two marked hiking trails reach the summit from La Tour-sur-Tinée in the valley below. Good fitness and sturdy footwear are needed to handle the steep sections and uneven ground.

From the summit you can see both the warm Mediterranean climate zones below and the cooler alpine environments above. This vantage point reveals the natural boundary between two very different ecosystems meeting in one place.
