'Col de Turini' (el. 1607 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Alps in the department of Alpes-Maritimes in France.
It lies near near Sospel in the Arrondissement of Nice.
It is famous for a stage of the Monte Carlo Rally which is held on the tight road with its many switchbacks. Until a few years ago, the Turini was also driven at night, with thousands of fans watching the "Night of the Long Knives" as it was called, due to the strong high beam lights cutting through the night.
