Cornet, Mountain summit in Maritime Alps, France
Cornet is a mountain summit in the Maritime Alps that reaches 1,473 meters (4,836 feet) and sits within the Nice Prealps. It commands views across the Estéron Valley and the surrounding mountain ranges.
For many generations, shepherds used the slopes as summer grazing land while moving their flocks during the seasonal transhumance migration. This pastoral practice shaped the landscape over centuries.
Local hikers gather annually in September at the summit of Mount Cornet to mark the conclusion of the hiking season.
The hike to the summit takes around three hours from the parking area near Saint-Auban village. The trail is well-marked and needs a moderate level of fitness.
On clear days, visitors can see both the Mediterranean Sea and the Alpine peaks from this summit at the same time. This rare combined view draws photographers and those seeking panoramic perspectives.
