The '''Gridone''', '''Ghiridone''' or '''Monte Limidario''' is a [[mountain]] of the [[Lepontine Alps]], overlooking [[Lake Maggiore]] near [[Brissago]]. At 2,188 metres above sea level, its summit straddles the border between [[Italy]] and [[Switzerland]].

The summit can be easily reached from both sides, although it is nearly 2,000 metres above Lake Maggiore.
