Monte Tenibres, Border mountain in Alpes-Maritimes, France and Province of Cuneo, Italy.
Monte Tenibres reaches an elevation of 3031 meters, creating a ridge between the Tinée Valley and the Stura di Demonte Valley.
The mountain has marked the natural border between France and Italy for centuries, serving as a geographical reference point for populations on both sides.
The slopes of Monte Tenibres reflect both French and Italian Alpine traditions through established hiking paths and traditional pastoral activities.
Hikers can reach the summit from Saint-Étienne-de-Tinée by following marked trails that cross forested areas up to Lake Pétrus.
Monte Tenibres stands on the watershed between the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea, near Europe's largest landslide formation.
