Description
Built between 1885 and 1893, Fort du Télégraphe stands on the site of one of the Chappe aerial telegraph relays on the imperial Paris-Milan line.
Its polygonal, Séré de Rivières-style architecture is adapted to the site's spectacular relief. The fort also served as a command post (Battle of the Alps, June 10-25, 1940) during the Italian offensive in the Valloire-Valmeinier sector.
The fort can be reached in 10 minutes from the Col du Télégraphe parking lot via a narrow road. The fort has around 50 steps to climb during the visit. Bring a little wool.
