Corborant, Mountain summit in Maritime Alps, Italy
Corborant is a summit in the Maritime Alps standing at 3010 meters with a distinctive pyramid shape. The mountain separates the valleys of Ischiator and San Bernolfo from each other.
The mountain became a popular climbing destination in the late 19th century, drawing early alpinists to its slopes. Its location made it an attractive objective for mountain explorers of that era.
The location marks where Italian and French territories meet, showing long-standing connections between Alpine communities on both sides. People from both countries share the use of this mountain region and its paths.
Several routes lead to the summit, with the Italian approaches via Ischiator Valley and San Bernolfo Valley requiring basic climbing equipment. Hikers should expect changeable mountain weather at this elevation.
The mountain sits within both the Parco Alpi Marittime and Mercantour National Park, making it an internationally protected area. This dual protection safeguards rare Alpine plant and animal species found on both sides of the border.
