Montagne du Cheiron, Mountain summit in Alpes-Maritimes, France.
Montagne du Cheiron is a mountain in the Maritime Alps, standing at about 1800 meters. The peak provides wide views across the surrounding valleys and allows visitors to see far into the Alpine landscape.
The mountain served as a key landmark for early settlements in the Loup Valley over many centuries. In recent decades, it became a destination for recreational activities like paragliding and skiing.
Orientation tables at the summit provide views of the French Riviera coastline from Saint-Tropez to the Italian peaks of Mercantour.
The main approach is from Nice through the Loup Gorges, leading to Gréolières where road access continues upward. Access conditions change with the season and weather, so checking local conditions beforehand is helpful.
The mountain is known for paragliding, with several launch sites from where pilots can soar down into the valleys below. Nearby, the Gréolières 1400 ski resort offers a winter sports alternative in the same region.
