Signal du Petit Mont-Cenis, Mountain summit in Savoie, France
The Signal du Petit Mont Cenis reaches an elevation of 3,162 meters and forms part of the Cottian Alps range between France and Italy.
The mountain territory became fully French following the 1947 Treaty of Paris, which established new boundaries between France and Italy after World War II.
French Alpine hunters maintain a strong connection to this mountain, where they engaged in significant military operations during the final months of 1945.
Hikers can reach the summit through a three-hour trek from the Refuge du Petit Mont Cenis, following marked trails across the alpine terrain.
The mountain sits between two notable mountain passes and overlooks the Mont Cenis lake while marking the watershed division between Arc and Dora Riparia.
