The Colle di Tenda is a pass over the Alps between Italy and France. It separates the Maritime Alps from the Ligurian Alps. The pass road of the same name, built under Napoleon, connects the greater Turin and Nice areas via the cities of Cuneo in Piedmont and Ventimiglia on the Mediterranean. The pass itself is considered the southernmost of the major Alpine passes. The pass summit lies at an altitude of 1,871 metres directly on the border between France and Italy.
