Geography

edit

Cime Genova is located near the southern summit of Monte Argentera, on the north-south oriented ridge line which connects Monte Argentera in Italy to Cime Guilié in France.[1] This ridge line separates the municipalities of Valdieri to the west, and Entracque to the east. Geologically, it is mainly made up of gneiss.[2]
