Moncenisio

Moncenisio lies along the upper Cenischia Valley, beneath the broad Alpine saddle of the Mont Cenis pass. High pastures, larch woods and steep slopes surround this small Italian community near the French border, with Lake Mont Cenis beyond the pass. For centuries, Mont Cenis was a major crossing between Piedmont and Savoy, carrying travellers, trade and armies across the Alps. The road over the pass was rebuilt under Napoleon in the early 19th century, reinforcing its role in transalpine travel.
