Fort Carra is a summit of the Alpes-Maritimes, in the high valley of the Tinée, singular by its shape reminding that of a military fort. It is part of a group of summits bordering the Gialorgues valley, between Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage and Estenc, including the Kerbrat-Metge ridge, the Côte de l'Âne point, the Bec du Château and the Dieudé-Defly summit.
