    Hiking

    It divides Italy from France, and the Maritime Alps National Park from the Mercantour National Park. It can be reached from the Italian side, via an easy mule track in two hours from the Piano del Praiet.

    Hiking

    Abri de Fenestre, former Italian army casemate, a little below a blockhouse. It is common to come across numerous chamois and ibexes, as well as marmots on this climb, and even sometimes ibexes in the blockhouses.

    Hiking

    Abandoned barracks near the Finestra hill, on the Italian-French border. Today, it is inhabited by a herd of chamois that gather inside.
