Cima Gardiola, Mountain summit at France-Italy border, Savoie and Piedmont regions.
The peak reaches an elevation of 3,140 meters and features exposed rock formations along its northeastern ridge leading to the summit point.
The boundary markers at Cima Gardiola were established following the 1860 Treaty of Turin, which redefined the Franco-Italian border in the Alps region.
The mountain paths reflect centuries of cross-border movement between French Savoie and Italian Piedmont, marked by shepherd routes and trade passages.
Mountaineers access the summit through the Col de Pelouse path, connecting the French town of Avrieux with the Italian municipality of Bardonecchia.
A geodetic measurement point installed by the French National Geographic Institute marks the exact summit position at this international boundary.
