Pointe des Avers, Mountain summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
Pointe des Avers reaches an elevation of 2667 meters, featuring steep slate slopes that lead to a stone cairn marking the mountain's highest point.
The mountain paths of Pointe des Avers pass through former mining areas where copper and coal extraction formed significant economic activities in past centuries.
The main trail passes an old customs officer's cabin, reflecting the historical border monitoring activities between France and Italy in this mountain region.
The 14.13-kilometer trail starts at Les Claux parking area in Ceillac and requires approximately seven hours to complete with substantial elevation gain.
