as soon as you arrive at the high battery you will see a semi-ruined building...go in and admire the 224 steps that lead you directly to the highest point of the battery...bring a small torch

Short but demanding trek that from Claviere leads to the buildings of the High Battery built in 1890 to control a possible invasion of France passing from the plateau of Montgenèvre in the Cesana basin. The walk has a first wooded stretch and ends on a dirt road from which it is possible to admire the beautiful panorama. The route climbs with a good slope all the way.
