Tsanteleina, Mountain summit at France-Italy border, Savoie and Piedmont
The marble-composed Tsanteleina rises to 3601 meters, marking the natural frontier between France and Italy in the Graian Alps range.
The first documented climb of Tsanteleina occurred in 1865, initiating a period of increased mountain exploration in the Graian Alps region.
The mountain draws mountaineers from both French and Italian territories, representing a shared natural heritage between these Alpine nations.
Access to Tsanteleina's summit requires following the northern route, as the southern paths suffer from deteriorated rock conditions.
The eastern section of Tsanteleina sits within Gran Paradiso National Park, while its north face provides conditions for ski mountaineering.
