A military road to Col de Pernante
Col de Pernante is an international high mountain pass at an elevation of 1.898m (6,227ft) above the sea level, located in the Alps, on the border between France and Italy.
The road to the pass starts at the famous Col de Tende/Colle di Tenda. It’s a gravel road generally in good shape and not too steep. No problem for an ordinary 4x4 vehicle. After the summit there’s a trail to Fort Pernante, at an elevation of 2.117m above the sea level. The fort was built in 1883 and had a fully stocked battery that was disarmed during the First World War.
