Col de Tende (Шаблон:Lang-it; elevation 1870 m) is a high mountain pass in the Alps, close to the border between France and Italy, although the highest section of the pass is wholly within France.
Pass
It separates the Maritime Alps from the Ligurian Alps. It connects Nice and Tende in Alpes-Maritimes with Cuneo in Piedmont.
A railway tunnel inaugurated in 1898 and the Col de Tende Road Tunnel inaugurated in 1882 run under the pass. The latter tunnel is 3.2 kilometre long and is among the oldest long road tunnels.
French historian François Guizot states that the road was first developed by Phoenicians and later maintained by Greeks and Romans.[1]
