The Mont Cenis hill connects the Susa valley, Italy, with the Maurienne, France. The pass, located at an altitude of 2,085 metres, is located entirely on French soil.
Near Mont Cenis there is a pyramid that houses a museum, where it is possible to appreciate the history of this famous Alpine pass.

Mont Cenis is one of the most important historic passes in the Alps. In fact, Hannibal probably passed through Mont Cenis with his elephants in 218 BC. Well also, Napoleon made Mont Cenis the first motorable road in the Alps.
