Entracque

Entracque is a small town in the Valle Gesso of the Maritime Alps of north-west Italy, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southwest of Cuneo and close to the French border.

It is the principal settlement and capoluogo of the comune or municipality of the same name (population 855) in the Piedmontese Province of Cuneo.

Entracque started to be a mountain touristic resort in the late 19th century, when the house of Savoy used the valley as a game reserve.

The village is also part of the Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime (Natural Park of the Maritime Alps).

Monte Argentera, the highest peak in the Maritime Alps, is located in the municipal territory.
