One of the major attractions for us of an overland route through the Alps is the amount and variety of forts and military fortresses existing in the region. Among these, special mention should be made of the importance and imposing architecture of the Fenestrelle Fort, also known as the Fenestrelle Fortress. This fortress is located in Italy, in Piedmont (45.030167º N, 7.060194º E), and we came across it on the day we were following the track between Sampeyre and Borgata Sestriere, in Turin.
