Monte Cotolivier

Monte Cotolivier rises to 2,105 meters above sea level in the Cottian Alps, featuring slopes covered with forests and pastures between two river valleys.

The mountain chapel on the summit was constructed in the late 1800s to commemorate a miraculous event from 1650 when two travelers survived a storm.

The Madonna del Cotolivier chapel serves as a religious destination where local residents gather for annual ceremonies and mountain prayers.

Multiple trails lead to the summit from Oulx, Désèrtes, and Beaulard, with a road allowing vehicle access during favorable weather conditions.

The mountain path includes notable waypoints such as Pierremenaud and Vazon, forming a 29-kilometer route with an elevation gain of 1,204 meters.
