Gridone, Mountain peak in Ticino, Switzerland and Piemont, Italy
The Gridone summit reaches an elevation of 2,188 meters above sea level, presenting steep slopes and rocky terrain along the Swiss-Italian border.
The mountain has marked the natural boundary between Switzerland and Italy since medieval times, serving as a strategic point for trade routes.
Local communities from both Switzerland and Italy maintain traditional Alpine festivals at the mountain's base throughout summer months.
