Cime de Sistron, Mountain summit in Mercantour National Park, France.
The Cime de Sistron reaches an elevation of 2,603 meters in the Mercantour-Argentera massif, offering views extending to notable Alpine peaks and the Mediterranean Sea.
The mountain became a significant winter sports location in 1975 with the installation of a two-person chairlift, marking the development of Isola 2000 ski resort.
The summit represents a meeting point between French Alpine traditions and Mediterranean influences, connecting the mountain communities of the Alpes-Maritimes region.
Hikers can access the summit through a 15.8-kilometer round trip from Isola, requiring approximately 2 hours and 49 minutes with an elevation gain of 1,504 meters.
During winter seasons, the northeast-facing slopes accumulate substantial snow coverage, creating conditions where skiers can navigate from 2,603 meters down to 1,800 meters.
