Col Sollier, before the Second World War, was a strategic place for the French, because it allowed them to control the Mont Cenis esplanade, which at the time was still Italian territory. In fact, the forts surrounding the current lake of Moncenisio (Fort Roncia, Fort Varisello, Fort Malamot and Pattacreuse) were originally Italian, hence the need to build fortifications capable of opposing them. These fortifications, on the side of the Col Sollier, were represented by the Turra fort (built partially in a cave) and by a set of fortifications built on Mont Froid. Both forts were built in the late 1800s and modernized on the eve of World War II. Currently in ruins, both forts can be reached from Moncenisio using military roads, while the one that reaches Col Sollier is still a cycle path, the one that goes up to the Fort de la Turrà is very ruined. From Col Sollier the climb to the Mont Froid fort takes half an hour (portage, if you go up by bike, S3 - S4 downhill). priceless panorama from the summit over a good portion of the Alps, in particular over the Vanoise park.
