Dominating the valleys of the Guil and the Durance, which was based on designs by Vauban, was constantly perfected from the 18th to 19th century. Mont-Dauphin is perhaps France’s finest example of military architecture in the classical style. Designated world heritage site by UNESCO.

Allow a good 6 hrs to do this from Claviere. 14km with about 1400m of ascent. The trail is toughest in the middle third, between the Roucher Rouge ski lift and the col - steep, rocky and loose in places. Take plenty of water because in summer there's nowhere to refill beyond the Roucher Rouge ski lift, around 60-80 mins up from Claviere. The hike is amazing, especially above the col, with stunning views and lots of old military junk around - ruins of a cable lift, guard posts, barbed wire fields and some additional gun emplacements on the lower slopes. Look out for a section of mangled 25mm armour plate that perhaps was blown onto the slopes by an explosion during the 1941 destruction of the fort by French mortars. Once at the top, if you have a torch it's possible to explore the underground section of the fort but probably not that safe as its full of ice even in high summer and derelict. One of the gun turrets can be climbed via the fairly intact stairs inside. Btw the road down to Fenils is closed (I think damaged and impassable due to a rock fall).
