Cime Guilié

Cime Guilié is a mountain on the France-Italy border within the Mercantour-Argentera massif, reaching 2,999 meters in elevation. The slopes feature alpine meadows, rocky sections, and panoramic views across the southern Alps.

The mountain began attracting climbers in the early 20th century, with documented expeditions contributing to regional mountaineering development. These climbs helped establish routes that are still used by hikers and climbers today.

Local mountaineering groups regularly organize guided tours to Cime Guilié, teaching traditional Alpine climbing techniques to new generations of climbers.

The ascent requires sturdy boots, weather-appropriate clothing, and sufficient water supplies for the full route. Better conditions exist during warmer months when snow and ice are minimal.

Two distinct routes serve different seasons: a summer hiking path through Vallon de l'Erps and a winter ski touring circuit via Vallon de Sangué. This flexibility allows the mountain to accommodate various climbing styles throughout the year.
