Cime du Diable, Mountain summit in Alpes-Maritimes, France.
Rising to 2685 meters above sea level, Cima del Diavolo stands in the southern section of Mercantour National Park, 40 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast.
The mountain area contains remnants of World War II installations and the Fortino dei Tre Comuni, constructed in 1898 to protect Franco-Italian borders.
The name translates to Devil's Peak in Italian, reflecting local folklore that once considered the mountain formation to hold supernatural properties.
Access to Cima del Diavolo begins at the Tueis refuge parking area, following marked trails through Punta dei Tre Comuni and multiple mountain passes.
From the summit, observers can see Monte Bégo, Monte del Grand Capelet, and the entire panorama extending toward both French and Italian territories.
