Montagne de Vibres is a summit reaching about 1,380 meters (4,530 feet) in the southern French Prealps. It offers views over the Haut Verdon and Mercantour regions and is accessed by marked trails from the village below.

The mountain is a significant geological element within the Haute Provence Geological Reserve, documenting the region's geological development. Its formation reflects the processes that shaped the southern Prealps over time.

The summit serves as a natural landmark for shepherds and hikers who travel through the marked trails of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. It remains a familiar destination for people living in the region who rely on these routes regularly.

Reaching the summit requires a challenging hike with significant elevation gain starting from Sénez. It is wise to bring weather-appropriate gear and stick to the marked paths, especially given changeable mountain conditions.

The ascent crosses the Clue de la Melle, a striking geological formation carved with a path directly into the rock face. This passage reveals layers of ancient stone and stands as a dramatic example of the region's geological character.
