Cime du Clot de Raut, Mountain summit in Alpes-Maritimes, France
Cime du Clot de Raut is a mountain peak in the Alpes-Maritimes that reaches 1175 meters above sea level. The slopes feature sparse vegetation adapted to the rocky terrain and mountain climate of this region.
The mountain formed during the Alpine orogeny when tectonic forces created the peaks and ridges visible today. This geological process shaped the landscape of the French Alps over millions of years.
Local shepherds maintain the ancient practice of seasonal migration, leading their flocks through the mountain paths during summer months.
Marked hiking trails lead to the summit, making it possible to reach the peak while enjoying the natural surroundings at your own pace. Trail conditions vary by season, so visitors should check local conditions before heading out.
This peak sits where Alpine and Mediterranean plant zones meet, creating an unusual transition point in the landscape. Clear days allow hikers to observe how vegetation changes dramatically across the slopes.
