Punta Clotesse, Mountain summit in Cottian Alps, France and Italy.
The Punta Clotesse rises to 2872 meters in elevation, featuring steep rocky slopes and natural formations across the French-Italian border in the Cottian Alps.
Military constructions from past conflicts remain visible near the summit, including former barracks and hidden bunkers along the Italian border patrol routes.
The mountain connects the communities of Haute Val de Suse and Vallon des Acles, where local residents maintain traditional Alpine practices through generations.
Hikers can access the summit through multiple marked trails from Oulx, with the primary hiking season running from May through October.
