The Lenlon fort is located at an altitude of 2,508 meters about three kilometers from the Oliva fort that dominates by 250 meters. To defend this fort, it was decided between 1890 and 1893 to fortify higher, the Lenlon crest with a line of batteries, a powder magazine under rock and rubble masonry work, in the form of a crenelated tower. It can be reached via the Clarée valley or the Col du Granon on foot and by mountain bike.
