Monte Sautron, Mountain summit in Cottian Alps, Italy.

Tête de Sautron is a summit in the Cottian Alps standing at 3,166 meters (10,371 feet) with steep rocky faces and a prominent ridge system. The mountain's terrain features demanding slopes that rise from the surrounding landscape on both the Italian and French sides.

The summit has served as a natural border marker between France and Italy for centuries within the Cottian Alps. This strategic location shaped how the mountain became known and accessed by climbers from both nations over generations.

The name Sautron comes from Occitan; a local tradition holds that it recalls the many Piedmontese emigrants who died here while crossing the Alps to find work in France. The French name of the mountain is Tête de Sautron.

The normal route starts from Chiappera, a hamlet of Acceglio, follows the Dino Icardi trail to the Stroppia mountain and then the signs for Colle della Portiola, partly on the Roberto Cavallero trail; the crest is marked with red paint and rated EE. Support points are Rifugio Stroppia and Bivacco Barenghi in Valle Maira, Rifugio Campo Base at Chiappera and Rifugio Chambeyron in France. In winter the ascent becomes a ski mountaineering route, most conveniently from Larche via Colle della Portiola.

The summit cross stands on the north ridge, the route of the normal ascent from Chiappera via the Dino Icardi and Roberto Cavallero trails; the crest track is partly marked with red paint. The first recorded ascent was made in 1877 by Pio Paganini, an engineer of the Italian Military Geographical Institute.
