Fort d'Artillerie de Champex

Really intereting visit!

Really interesting and a very knowable guide. Remember warm clothes, the tour takes 90 minutes. You can do it as part of the San Bernard Activity Pass.

A place for Hobbits

Superb place to visit and understand why Switzerland's policy of armed neutrality meant post-1939 going underground to defend themselves. The scale of the place is small compared to other forts nearby...

Amazing history

I've seen the entrance a lot of times over the last 40 years. Never knowing what was behind thisr rocky doors. Real amazing tour. I've learned a lot about the defense strategy of the swiss during WW2....

LIVING HISTORY

Intersting underground fort from second world war era and not decommissioned until about 1990. Well worth a visit

But what a madness to have caved this fort in the mountain! Demilitarized now but in very good condition.
