Fort de Pattacreuse

Fort de Pattacreuse is a fascinating Italian fortification dating back to the 19th century, located at an impressive altitude of 2385 meters above sea level on Lake Mont Cenis.

This historic structure is part of a network of forts erected by Italy and France on the Mont Cenis plateau in the late 19th century, testifying to the strategic importance of the region.

Although the fort is not currently open to the public due to its remote location and weather conditions, the surrounding hiking trails offer unforgettable views of Mont Cenis Lake and the alpine landscapes of the Haute Maurienne Vanoise.
