Mont Malamot (Italian: Monte Malamot; also called Pointe Droset in French) is a mountain in the northern Cottian Alps, near the Mont Cenis pass. It has an elevation of 2,917 metres (9,570 ft).

History[]

Nowadays entirely included in French territory, it separates the valleys of Dora Riparia and Arc. At the top is a large fortification built by the Italian Regio Esercito in 1889, on two floors, which could house some 200 troops. The area was further fortified in 1932-1940 during the construction of the Alpine Wall.
