Cima Mondini, Mountain summit in Maritime Alps, Italy

Cima Mondini rises to an elevation of 2,915 meters above sea level in the Massif du Mercantour-Argentera range of the Maritime Alps.

Ludwig Purtscheller and Walter Bodenmann completed the first recorded ascent of Cima Mondini on June 25, 1890, initially confusing it with Cima dell'Oriol.

The mountain received its name from Felice Mondini, who made the first documented climb of the neighboring Cima dell'Oriol six years after Purtscheller.

The Rifugio Morelli-Buzzi shelter, located 900 meters south-southwest of the summit, serves as a base for mountaineers attempting the various climbing routes.

The mountain structure consists entirely of gneiss, a metamorphic rock formation that characterizes the geological composition of this section of the Maritime Alps.

Elevation above the sea: 2,915 m

GPS coordinates: 44.19909,7.31645
