    Tips

    This blockhouse was built by Alpine hunters between 1931 and 1932. It is the only trace of the Maginot Line in the Alps. It was to be used to observe the arrival of potential Italian enemies. Between 1939 and 1940, around thirty men were requisitioned to occupy this site. With a little luck, you will surely see some ibex wandering around in this area!
