Fenestrelle

Fenestrelle lies in the Chisone Valley beside the Chisone stream, where steep Alpine slopes rise around a chain of small Piedmont settlements. Its defining monument is Forte di Fenestrelle, a vast Savoyard defensive complex begun in the 18th century on the mountainside above the valley. The fort’s covered stairway links separate forts and batteries through more than 3,000 steps, conveying the scale of this former frontier defence of the Duchy of Savoy. Fenestrelle stands in the Cottian Alps within the Metropolitan City of Turin, near routes towards France.
