Piz da las Trais Linguas, Mountain summit at Stelvio Pass, Italy
Cima Garibaldi is a mountain summit in the Alps at approximately 2,843 meters (9,327 feet) elevation, situated where three regional boundaries converge. From this location, views extend across surrounding valleys and mountain chains that stretch across multiple territories.
Before World War I, this peak was where the borders of Switzerland, Italy, and Austria-Hungary met in a single point. The territorial boundaries in this region shifted several times throughout the 20th century, shaping the landscape seen today.
The mountain is known by three different names reflecting the linguistic diversity of the surrounding region. This multilingual character is visible in how people from various communities refer to and experience the place.
A mountain shelter stands very close to the summit and provides lodging and supplies for hikers and climbers. The route requires good physical fitness and mountain experience, particularly in the higher sections.
This location is a tripoint where the boundaries of three different regions meet at a single spot, which is extremely rare in the Alps. This geographic peculiarity makes it an interesting destination for visitors seeking cross-border experiences.
