    Marta's Balcony, famous for two reasons: the underlying underground fort from the Second World War (the largest still existing in the Western Alps) and the view. Marta's Balcony is called this way because it offers an infinite view. On completely clear days, you can even see the Mole Antonelliana in Turin. It is no coincidence that they built the fort there.

    If you want to visit the fort I recommend entering from the second door, leaving your bike in the first room on the ground floor and going down. The complete visit lasts about an hour. There are lots of steps and a difference in height of about 100m. Apart from the fear of the dark, everything is safe.
