This is a provisional key to the lichens occurring in the Italian Alps near and above treeline, prepared on the occasion of the excursion of the Association Française de Lichénologie on Mt. Cenis in August 2022. The key is focused on lichens occurring in the alpine and nival belts; many rare species occurring in the subalpine belt are not included. The key, which includes 1333 infrageneric taxa, several of which were never reported from Italy but are known from neighbouring countries, will be tested during the excursion, and modified accordingly.
