Mount Tournairet, Mountain summit in Alpes-Maritimes, France
Mount Tournairet rises to an elevation of 2,086 meters, forming a tripoint between the municipalities of Clans, Venanson, and Utelle in southeastern France.
The mountain has long served as a natural boundary marker between different communities in the Alpes-Maritimes department, with border stones still visible along ancient paths.
The mountain paths connecting local villages through Mount Tournairet have facilitated exchanges between mountain communities of the Mercantour-Argentera massif for generations.
Hikers can access the summit via the GR5 trail, which requires proper mountain gear and careful planning due to the 1,370-meter elevation gain over 16.88 kilometers.
The western slope of Mount Tournairet contains the Clans State Forest, creating a natural transition between Mediterranean and alpine ecosystems.
