Hiking - The Mont Chaberton

This long and beautiful hike with significant elevation gain remains technically not very difficult. Known as the highest and most powerful of the Italian forts, the Fort of Chaberton, reaching 3131 m in altitude, is an unmissable hike in the Briançonnais.
There is no alternative to conquering the “Battleship of the Clouds” and its mountain: you’ll have to rely solely on the strength of your legs! But it’s worth the effort—at 3131 m the view is breathtaking…
Remember to bring warm clothing, even gloves for the arrival at the summit. Even in the middle of summer, at this altitude, it can be quite chilly.
