Mont Vial, Mountain summit near Tourette-du-Château, France
Mont Vial rises to 1549 meters in elevation, featuring steep slopes and numerous hairpin turns leading to a telecommunication tower at its peak.
The mountain stands at the intersection of three major valleys - Tinée, Esteron, and Var - where ancient trade routes connected medieval settlements.
The presence of a modern television tower at the summit, rather than religious structures found on neighboring peaks, reflects changing societal priorities.
The road to Mont Vial begins at Sigale, covering 7 kilometers with an elevation gain from 960 meters to the summit at 1549 meters.
During clear days after Mistral winds, visitors at Mont Vial's summit can observe Nice, Monaco, Cannes, and even the island of Corsica.
