Cima Genova (French: Cime Genova) is a mountain in the Maritime Alps in the upper Gesso valley, in the Italian province of Cuneo.

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]
