Cima di Gaina

The Cime de la Galine stands at 2400 meters elevation, forming part of the principal Alpine chain between the Tanaro basin and Roia valley.

Following the Treaty of Paris modifications, the summit territory transferred from Italian jurisdiction to French administration, altering the national border placement.

The mountain carries different names across languages, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the French-Italian border region where multiple communities intersect.

Hikers can reach the summit through marked trails starting from Rifugio Don Barbera, with the Colle dei Signori path providing primary access.

The mountain location spans an unusual administrative arrangement, with the French portion belonging to an exclave of La Brigue in Alpes-Maritimes department.
