Lower Maurienne route
|
Difficulty
|
|
|
 Easy
route (quite uncommon in our valley !) traversing hillsides and
valley floor, it links the villages and lakes of Saint-Pierre-de-Belleville,
Saint-Alban-d'Hurtières and Charbonnière. It partly follows the
local "Mauriennaise"route.
A little history
In 1860, Savoie becomes French again and takes a strategic importance
: the Aiton-Chamousset fort is built according to the defensive
principles of Séré de Rivière.
The battery and barracks of the Aiton fort, a counter-battery
in Montgilbert, other batteries and forts at intervals : the whole
defensive system will be decommissioned later due to progress
in artillery.
