Tête de Cabeau, Mountain summit in Manigod, France

Tête de Cabeau is a mountain in the Aravis range above Manigod, reaching 1,658 metres at a series of rounded bumps. An orientation table and a telecommunications antenna stand on the summit. Four chairlifts and six surface lifts of the Manigod ski area serve pistes that run through the forest on its slopes.

The mountain gained ski lift infrastructure in the 1960s, starting with installations in 1969 and 1972. In 2015, the Poma company installed a modern four-seat chairlift as part of an upgrade.

The orientation table at the summit helps visitors identify surrounding peaks and shows how this place sits within the larger landscape. Local people use this vantage point to understand their mountain geography and seasonal changes.

The summit is reached on foot or via the Manigod ski area lifts, with four chairlifts and six ski tows serving the slopes below. The rounded tops hold an orientation table and a telecom antenna, so expect wind and sun exposure at 1,658 metres. Approach from the Col de Merdassier or the Col de la Croix Fry side.

The summit sits between Col de Merdassier and Col de la Croix Fry, forming a natural junction between different sections of the Aravis range. This location makes it a pivot point for hikers and skiers moving between different pass routes.
