MONT GENEVRE

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 783 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MONT GENEVRE , a very easy and remarkable pass (6083 ft.) between
France
  and
Italy
 , which is now considered by high authorities to have been crossed by Hannibal, as it certainly was by
Julius
 
Caesar
 ,
Charles
  VIII., and in the war of 1859. An excellent
carriage
 -road mounts in 7 M. from Briancon, at the very head of the Durance valley, to the pass. On the
French
  side of the
divide
  is the
village
  of Bourg Mont Genevre, and on the Italian side that of Clavieres, both inhabited all the year round, as the pass runs
east
  and west, and is thus sheltered from the north wind. A descent of 5 M. leads down to Cesanne in the Doria Riparia valley, which is followed for 5 in. more to Oulx (17 M. from Briancon), on the Mont Cenis railway.
