Punta Marguareis, Mountain summit in Ligurian Alps, France and Italy
The Marguareis peak rises to 2651 meters in elevation, standing as the highest point of the Ligurian Alps between Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Piedmont regions.
The first documented ascent of Marguareis was completed by Lorenzo Pareto, marking a significant milestone in the climbing history of the Ligurian Alps.
Marguareis peak serves as a natural border between French and Italian communities, functioning as a meeting point for mountaineers from both countries.
Hikers can reach the summit through several marked trails, with the Piero Garelli mountain shelter located 1682 meters north-northeast of the peak.
The mountain features a distinctive karst landscape containing numerous caves, drawing speleologists for geological exploration and research studies.
