Monte Cervandone rises to 3,211 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between Switzerland's Valais region and Italy's Piedmont territory.

The mountain has been documented in geological studies since the 1970s, with researchers investigating its mineral deposits and geological formations throughout the decades.

Scientists named a mineral cervandonite after this mountain, recognizing the location's contribution to mineralogical research in the Alpine region.

The summit connects to multiple hiking trails through the Devero Valley, providing access points for mountaineers from both the Swiss and Italian sides.

The Wanni glacier near Monte Cervandone contains rare earth elements within quartz-feldspar nodules, making it significant for geological research.
