Virtual tour of the passes
Do you love the thrill of heights, and are you sure-footed? Then this excursion's perfect for you. Short but intense, it offers outstanding panoramic views as a reward. Climb up and see what an unusual surprise awaits you there.
Description
Ascending through high-altitude meadows, the path sometimes leaves you breathless. Breathe in the fresh mountain air and savour the flat stretches that seem carved out especially for you. The slope gradually steepens until you reach two challenging passages. The handrails help you advance amid the rocks. The challenge of the day is this stretch of a few metres, that'll get your adrenalin pumping. The more timid may find it daunting, but with the right footwear, anyone can climb the few stone steps. Enjoy the view as the breeze rises from Col de Mont Cenis and you look down on gentle slopes of lush grass and herds of animals. Suddenly, an open landscape spreads out before you. Petite Turra and "her border guard" have been secretly awaiting you. Travel back to the 20th century at La Turra Fort and have a rest inside the walls, enjoying panoramic views.
