WHAT DOES MONT CENIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mont Cenis

Mont Cenis

Mont Cenis is a massif and pass in Savoie in France which forms the limit between the Cottian and Graian Alps. The pass connects Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis in France in the northwest with Susa in Italy in the southeast. In Middle Ages, pilgrims passing through Moncenisio and Susa Valley came to Turin along a road called Via Francigena, with final destination Rome. It was one of the most used Alpine pass in from the Middle Ages to Nineteenth Century. The pass was used as part of the border between the two countries from the annexion of savoy to the third French Empire in 1861 until 1947 Treaty of Paris, but is now located completely in France. The treaty allowed Savoy to retrieve its historical and political boundaries. A road over the pass was built between 1803 and 1810 by Napoleon. The Mont Cenis Pass Railway was opened alongside the road in 1868, but was dismantled in 1871, on the opening of the Fréjus Rail Tunnel. It was the first ever railway based on the Fell mountain railway system and was worked by English engine-drivers.
