The Ligurian Alps are a mountain range in northwestern Italy.

They form the south-western extremity of the Alps, separated from the Apennines by the Colle di Cadibona.

The Col de Tende and the Vermenagna valley[2] separate them from the Maritime Alps.

Administratively the range is divided between the Italian provinces of Cuneo, Imperia and Savona and the French department of Alpes-Maritimes (south-western slopes).

[4] On the northern side of the range stands the Natural Park of Marguareis, another regional natural park [5] established by the regional government of Piemonte in 1978.
