    The construction of the fort at the top of Mont Chaberton began in 1892. The idea was then for the Italian army to strengthen its defense system against France. Nicknamed then the "Fort of the Clouds", it was at that time the highest fort in the world. Its position is extremely strategic, and almost unbeatable: it is located on a ridge line, at more than 3,130 meters above sea level. The fort became French in 1947, along with Mont Chaberton. Today, only ruins remain, which are truly impressive!

      A place of historical interest, the final ascent on the stony ground (and its descent) is demanding but just be careful. The sight is exciting.
