Cime de la Malédie is a mountain in the Maritime Alps, on the France–Italy border. Its French part is located in the upper Gordolasque valley, in the commune of Belvédère, in the department of Alpes-Maritimes.
The peak is bordered by Lac Long, to the south, and is located to the east of Cime du Gélas. The French part of this summit is part of the Mercantour National Park, and its Italian part is part of the Maritime Alps Natural Park. Geologically, it is made up of anatexites.[1]
The normal route was opened by Élisa and Louis Maubert, accompanied by guides Jean and Jean-Baptiste Plent, on July 23, 1895.[2] The first winter ascent of the same route was carried out by Victor de Cessole, accompanied by B. Daniel and J. Plent, on March 16, 1904.[3]
