Sommet de Malavelette is a 247-metre summit in the Estérel massif near Saint-Raphaël. The source records no historical events for the hill itself; its documented past is geological, as part of the volcanic Estérel range. Mont Vinaigre, the massif's highest point at 614 metres, lies 2.2 km to the south and serves as the reference summit of the area.

The summit draws local walkers who use it as a destination to experience Mediterranean plant life in its natural setting. The path passes through vegetation typical of Provence that visitors encounter during their climb.

The summit rises 247 metres, 7.5 km northeast of Saint-Raphaël, with Mont Vinaigre (614 m) about 2.2 km to the south. The surrounding hills are wooded, so the approach is shaded for much of the way. The climate is Mediterranean, with dry, hot summers and mild winters.

From this summit you can see Mediterranean vegetation and the first foothills of the French Alps at the same time. This position lets you observe two very different landscape zones in a single view.
