Monte Tibert, Mountain summit in Piedmont, Italy

Monte Tibert is a mountain in the Alps standing at 2,647 meters with multiple hiking routes through the Italian Alpine landscape. The paths pass through diverse terrain ranging from forested slopes to high alpine meadows before reaching the summit.

The slopes around Monte Tibert have connected different valleys in the Piedmont region for centuries as traditional trading and pastoral routes. Local communities relied on these pathways to move between settlements and share resources.

The name Tibert is probably pre-Latin tib, stone or rock, joined to the Germanic personal name Bert. On the summit stands a cross with a small niche holding a Madonna at its foot. Below the mountain, in the basin beneath its secondary ridge, lie the ruins of Narbona, a hamlet founded by Provençal refugees fleeing religious persecution and now completely abandoned.

The climb from Chiappi typically takes around six hours covering roughly 8 kilometers of trail. Hikers should prepare for changing weather conditions and bring sturdy footwear plus adequate water.

The summit cross stands beside a small niche holding a Madonna figurine. The mountain gives its name, with Punta Tempesta, to the Tempesta-Tibert ridge in the SOIUSA classification. Below the east ridge lies Narbona, a hamlet founded by Provençal refugees fleeing religious persecution and now completely abandoned.
