Monte Tre Denti

Monte Tre Denti is a mountain summit in the Cottian Alps located in Piedmont along the boundary between Cumiana and Cantalupa municipalities. The peak is defined by its three rocky crests that form a distinctive natural landmark in the Alpine landscape.

The mountain sits at a location that has long influenced local trade routes and the development of surrounding communities. Its position in the Alpine region made it a recognizable point in the history of settlement.

The name Monte Tre Denti refers to the mountain's shape with three distinct rocky peaks. Locals and visitors recognize this distinctive outline from the valleys below and from the surrounding area.

Hiking trails lead to this summit from both sides, with access points in Cumiana and Cantalupa offering different difficulty levels. The best time to hike is during the summer months when the paths are dry and easy to navigate.

This mountain gives its name to the natural park Parco Naturale Monte Tre Denti-Freidour, which protects the Alpine natural landscapes of the region. The park preserves not just the peak itself but also the surrounding forest zones and mountain meadows.
