What you can expect

  • Mount Chaberton is not just a mountain, it is a legendary place suspended between earth and sky. Together with Chaberton Outdoor Activities, you will reach one of the most iconic peaks in the Alps, famous for its eight spectacular stone towers that rise to over 3,000 metres. Once part of a record-breaking fortress, today these silent sentinels offer one of the most extraordinary viewpoints in Europe.

    The itinerary starts from Claviere, going up the Rio Secco valley to Colle dello Chaberton (2,674 m). From here, we will travel along the ancient military road that, with a series of regular hairpin bends, leads to the summit esplanade at 3131 metres above sea level.
    At the top, we will explore the remains of Europe's highest armored battery, built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
    Our hiking guide will explain the details of the soldiers' life at high altitude and the strategic role of the fort during World War II, up to the tragic French bombing of June 1940.
    From the summit of the Chaberton, the view is among the most expansive in the Alps: the gaze sweeps from Monviso to the Écrins, from the Vanoise Massif to the Guglie di Valle Stretta.
    During the climb, it's not uncommon to spot typical high-altitude fauna, such as ibex and golden eagles, which inhabit the scree and limestone walls of the mountain.
    The ascent to Chaberton is not just a hike, but a journey into the most authentic mountain experience, where effort and satisfaction meet.

    Perfect for those looking for organised trekking in Piedmont, this itinerary is an unmissable challenge for mountain lovers.
