    Forte delle Valli is a fortified complex built in the 18th century in Val Chisone, in the province of Turin. It is more commonly called 'the great Piedmontese wall', thanks to its size. Initially it had the task of protecting the Italian-French border. From 1946 to 1990 it was abandoned, then restorations began, still in progress today. In 1999 it became a symbol of the Province of Turin. In 2007 it was included in the list of the 100 historical archaeological sites of international importance most at risk, by the World Monuments Fund.

      Along the forest track you come to skirt the external walls of the upper part of the Fenestrelle fort

        The Royal Walk is very beautiful. With breathtaking views of the valley. It is challenging, you have to climb at least 3000 steps, but it is worth it.
