Hiking
A sublime but committed summit, beware of the less seasoned. The last 200 meters of elevation require you to put your hands on the rock, to have a stable step, and to know how to move on a steep ridge.

With its 3,143 meters of altitude, the Cime du Gélas is the highest point of the Mercantour-Argentera massif in France. This border summit is also the highest point in the Alpes-Maritimes.
