    The Buco di Viso was the first Alpine tunnel. It was completed in 1480 at the behest of Ludovico II, Marquis of Saluzzo, who governed the plain below the Stone King. At that time it proved to be a great example of civil and Alpine engineering. It is located 2,882 meters above sea level.

      Buco di Viso, or in French, the Traversette Tunnel, is a 75 meter long passage dug into the rock at the end of the 15th century. It was then designed to be able to transport salt without having to pass through the neighboring Traversette pass. Its dimensions were originally calculated to allow the passage of a man and a mule. Closed several times, it was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century and then restored several times. It is now accessible to everyone. This is a really nice passage!
