    The Fort de la Croix-de-Bretagne is a fortification near Briançon, in the Dauphiné region of southeastern France. Built between 1876 and 1879 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, it was designed to defend France from a potential Italian invasion. The construction cost 1,416,642 francs. Today, it remains one of the best-preserved forts in the Briançonnais area.

    The fort is perched at nearly 2,000 meters, after a climb of 700 vertical meters.

    Departure from Villars st Pancrace, by a wide path. Presence of quite a few stones towards the middle but otherwise great and a view at the end fantastic! Attention 700 m of vertical drop: to do when you are a little sporty. Can be done with an electric mountain bike as well.
