Pelat, Mountain summit in Mercantour National Park, France
The Mont Pelat rises to 3053 meters in the Maritime Alps between the Verdon valley, Var valley, and Bachelard valley.
The glaciers that shaped Mont Pelat during the last ice age created the natural barrier that now contains Lake Allos at its base.
The mountain serves as a traditional summer pasture area where shepherds maintain ancient practices of livestock grazing with protection dogs.
Hikers can access the summit through two main routes: from Lake Allos or from Col de la Cayolle, with a total elevation gain of 976 meters.
From the summit, visitors can observe a panoramic view spanning from Montagne Sainte-Victoire in the south to Mont Blanc in the north.
