Tips

January 21, 2022

Hiking

Fort dating back to the end of the 19th century, used by the Italians during the Great Wars. In reality it was not the scene of clashes and in the years to come it was used as a reserve as it is now obsolete. It is part of a line of fortifications along the Italian-French front. It can be reached in 15 minutes on foot, leaving the car on Colle di Tenda.
