What you can expect

Mont 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 10,000 feet (3,000 metres). Once part of an imposing fortress, today these silent sentinels offer one of Europe's most extraordinary viewpoints.

The itinerary starts from Claviere and ascends the Rio Secco valley to Colle dello Chaberton (2,674 m). From here, we will follow the ancient military road, which, via a series of evenly spaced hairpin bends, leads to the summit plateau at an elevation of 3,131 metres (10,276 feet).
Once 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 share with you details about the lives of the soldiers at high altitude and the fort's strategic role during World War II, up to the tragic French bombing in June 1940.
From the summit of Chaberton, the view is among the most expansive in the Alps: the panorama stretches from Monviso to the Écrins, from the Vanoise Massif to the Guglie di Valle Stretta.
During the climb, it is not uncommon to spot typical high-altitude wildlife, such as ibex and golden eagles, which inhabit the mountain's scree slopes and limestone cliffs.
The climb to Chaberton is not just a hike, but a journey into the heart of the mountains, where effort and satisfaction come together.

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