    The Monte Jafferau is a 2805 m s.l.m. high mountain in the Cottian Alps in Italy in the border area with France. It rises east of the city of Bardonecchia on the left side of the Dora di Bardonecchia and separates the area of Bardonecchia from Valfredda. The north summit is called Testa del Ban (2652 m, world icon) and has a peak height of around 30 meters.

    At the top is Fort Jafferau, built at the end of the 19th century, an important fortress, part of the Vallo Alpino and one of the highest fortifications in the Cottian Alps. A road leads from Salbertrand to the fort on the summit.

    Monte Jafferau is a popular destination for enduro riders. Approaches exist u. a. from Salbertrand and Savoulx. The slopes of Monte Jafferau are part of the Bardonecchia ski area.

        The fort that dominates the Jafferau is the tallest nineteenth-century fort in Italy
