Mont Cenis Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Mont Cenis hill connects the Susa valley, Italy, with the Maurienne, France. The pass, located at an altitude of 2,085 metres, is located entirely on French soil.
Near Mont Cenis there is a pyramid that houses a museum, where it is possible to appreciate the history of this famous Alpine pass.

Superb view of the Mont Cenis lake. Its azure blue waters mingle with the greens of its banks. It is one of the jewels of Haute-Maurienne.

Access to the lake water is possible when the water level is relatively low. The "beach" is more windy, so wear proper equipment.

Fort de Ronce

Highlight • Castle

Fort Roncia, which takes its name from the massif that overlooks it, was built between 1877 and 1880 practically in the same period (and with the same armaments) as the nearby forts Variselle and Cassa. The Roncia had two levels of fire, the lower one reserved for riflemen, while the upper one used cannons and machine guns. The access, still today takes place through a passage (originally there was a drawbridge) which after the external moat leads to the internal courtyard, from which you can go up to the upper floor where an exhibition is currently set up that tells the story of the fort. . After the Second World War and the passage of the Mont Cenis area to France, the fort experienced a period of neglect only to be renovated in the last century.
