Mont Giusalet (3,313m - also called pointe du Clery) is a mountain in the Ambin group of the Cottian Alps in Savoie, France, near the Italian border.

Features[]

The mountain dominates the lower Susa Valley and the town of Susa in Italy, and can even be seen from a large area of the Po Valley.

The mountain, although lying on the Alpine watershed between the Val di Susa and the , is entirely in French territory following the boundary adjustments decided in the 1947 Treaty of Paris .

Mont Giusalet is rocky on its southern slopes and covered by a glacier on its northern one. With the two smaller peaks: Cime de Bard (3,150 m) and Punta della Vecchia (2993 m), it forms a small mountain massif. The mountain looks like a long ridge about a mile long going from east to west with two peaks at either end. On the eastern summit lies an Iron Cross.
