The Colle della Croce di Ferro connects the municipality of Bussoleno, Valle di Susa, with Usseglio, the Valle di Viù. The mule track that goes up from Malciaussia was used for war purposes during the Second World War. In fact, it was used to reach the barracks scattered over the hills of the area.
