Tenda Pass
Tenda Pass, pass (6,135 feet [1,870 m]) in the Maritime Alps, lying on the French-Italian border near the resort of Limone Piemonte. Two parallel tunnels carry a railroad and highway beneath the Tenda Pass to connect Nice, Fr., with Turin, Italy. Some Alpine specialists consider the pass to be the western end of the main Alps.
