Buc de Nubiera

The Buc de Nubiera stands at 3,215 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between France and Italy in the Chambeyron Mountains range.

The mountain has been a reference point for alpine expeditions since the early development of mountaineering routes in the Cottian Alps region.

Local mountaineers maintain traditional climbing practices through seasonal expeditions to the summit, documenting geological changes and wildlife patterns.

The ascent requires advanced hiking skills, with a challenging T3 trail covering 14 kilometers and steep sections exceeding 45-degree slopes.

The Renato Montaldo Bivouac, positioned near the summit, holds the distinction of being the highest emergency shelter in the Ubaye territory.
