Cime de Peïra-Cava, Mountain summit in Alpes-Maritimes, France.
Located in the Nice Prealps, Cime de Peïra-Cava reaches an elevation of 1,581 meters and consists primarily of sandstone and limestone formations.
The first ski ascent of Cime de Peïra-Cava was accomplished by Victor de Cessole in 1909, marking the beginning of winter sports in the region.
The mountain's name originates from Nice dialect, where Peïra means stone and Cava means concave, reflecting the local linguistic heritage of this area.
The summit can be accessed through two main routes: along the mountain flank from the powder magazine at the village exit or via the Beccas trail.
A chairlift was installed in 1963 connecting the road through Peïra-Cava village to the mountain summit, though it is no longer operational today.
