Monte Bertrand (Italian) or Mont Bertrand (French) is a mountain located on the French-Italian border between Piemonte and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.




History



The mountain up to World War II was totally belonging to Italy but, following the Paris Peace Treaties, signed in February 1947, is now shared between Italy and France.




Geography



The mountain belongs to the Ligurian Alps and is located on the main chain of the Alps. On its top three ridges meet; one of them heads West dividing two tributary valleys of the Roya, Vallon du Réfrei (north) and Vallon du Morignole. Going North the main chain of the Alps connects the mountain with the Colle delle Selle Vecchie, while southwards the saddle of Colla Rossa (2172 m) divides the Monte Bertrand from the neighbouring Cime de Missun. On the Italian side of the mountain runs a former-military dirt road connecting Monesi (a village of the municipality of Triora) with the colle di Tenda. The summit of the Monte Bertrand is marked by a cairn and a summit cross and can be easily seen from Upega, a village of the iItalian comune of Briga Alta, and by Morignolo, located in the French mairie of La Brigue.
