    Beautiful Abandoned Fort in a special corner of the Ubaye mountains. From here you can continue the climb until you reach the highest fort in Viraysse

      Abandoned but spectacular fort, a few meters below you can take the path towards Col du Vallonnet or continue climbing towards the Tête de Viraysse

        Large former fort, like many in the region.
