Testa Malinvern, Alpine summit in Isola, France
Mont Malinvern rises to 2938 meters in the Maritime Alps, establishing a natural border between France and Italy with two distinct peaks.
Lieutenant Siccardi completed the first recorded ascent of Mont Malinvern in 1878, while the first winter climb occurred in February 1934.
The mountain overlooks the Terre Rouge lakes, forming an essential part of the natural heritage in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
