Monte Gimont, Summit in the Cottian Alps at Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and Piedmont, France and Italy.
Monte Gimont rises to an elevation of 2646 meters, creating a natural border between France and Italy within the Queyras mountain range.
The paths around Monte Gimont reflect the former trade routes that connected French and Italian communities across the Alpine region.
