Monte Tanarello, Mountain summit in Mercantour, France
Monte Tanarello rises to 2094 meters in elevation within the French Alps, featuring steep trails and rocky terrain along the frontier ridge.
The mountain paths crossing Monte Tanarello have served as essential travel routes between French and Italian territories throughout centuries of Alpine history.
Local shepherds continue their traditional practice of moving cattle and horses through the mountain pastures during summer grazing seasons.
The challenging 18-kilometer hiking circuit from Notre-Dame des Fontaines chapel requires proper mountain equipment and takes approximately 10 hours to complete.
The summit marks a convergence point of French yellow trail markers and Italian red-white-red signs, indicating its position on the international border.
