The fort on the hill of Finestre Chisone valley.


Colle delle Finestre (el. 2178 m.) is a mountain pass in the Alps, in the Italian reigion of Piemonte, Italy, linking Susa Valley and Cisone Valley. The road was built around 1700 to gain access to the fortresses in the zone, mainly the Forte di Fenestrelle. The road serves as tourist attraction although the last 8 kilometres of the road from Susa are not asphalted. From Susa the mountain pass is 18,6 kilometres long at an average of 9,1% (height gain: 1694 m), the maximum gradient being 12%.
