Punta Marguareis

North wall of the Punta Marguareis

The Punta Marguareis (French also Pointe Marguareis ) is the highest mountain in the Ligurian Alps, close to the Alps east of the Col de Tende. It lies directly on the border between the Piedmont and the French department of Alpes- Maritimes in eastern Provence, which also includes since 1947 the 2,651 meter high summit.

The first recorded ascent was in 1832 by Lorenzo Pareto instead of the south ridge.
