Cime des Vallières, Mountain summit in the Maritime Alps, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
Rising to an elevation of 1515 meters, Cime des Vallières presents steep rocky faces and grassy slopes overlooking the Vésubie and Gordolasque valleys.
The summit area contains remnants of military fortifications from the late 19th century, built to protect the Franco-Italian border during territorial tensions.
Local shepherds maintain centuries-old traditions of seasonal transhumance, moving their flocks between valley pastures and high-altitude meadows near the summit.
Hikers can access the summit via marked trails from Belvédère village, with the ascent taking approximately 4 hours through forest paths and mountain terrain.
The peak serves as a natural boundary between three distinct ecological zones, supporting rare alpine flowers and providing habitat for chamois and golden eagles.
