From the top of its 3,178 meters, Mount Tabor dominates the Cerces massif and the Étroite valley. Until 1947, the summit marked the border between France and Italy. The Treaty of Paris changed this and Mount Tabor has since been entirely French.

However, it is not the highest peak in the area: Pic du Thabor, just a few steps away, rises to 3,207 meters above sea level. In any case, the view is exceptional!

Hiking

Very popular peak, in terms of difficulty it is similar to Chaberton. It can be reached from the Stretta valley with a long walk, over 9 km. It is possible to make a loop passing by the Peyron lake
