Access to Montgenèvre and Napoleon Obelisk

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Obelisk dedicated to Napoleon Napoleon was inaugurated on April 12, 1804.
It is located at the entrance to the village of Monginevro (Italy side) and its history is linked to the construction of the road to the pass.


The obelisk was destroyed with explosives in 1835 by the Piedmontese and rebuilt by the architect Giuseppe Andreoli under King Louis Philippe.
The original marble commemorative plaques, also destroyed, have been replaced by bronze plaques, engraved in four languages: French, Italian, Spanish and Latin, where you can read the homage paid to Napoleon Bonaparte and the prefect Ladoucette.

Montgenèvre

Highlight • Other

Montgenèvre is a small town nestled between the Clarée and Suse valleys. It is famous for its eponymous pass, highly appreciated by cyclists.

In the ski resort, Montgenèvre offers a wide range of restaurants and accommodation.

Ideally located on the GR 5, it also makes an excellent stopover for travelers en route from/to Briançon.

Montgenèvre Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Montgenèvre connects Briançon, France, to Cesana Torinese, Italy. The pass, at 1,850 meters, is located entirely in France. The Montgenèvre pass is a historic pass: for the Romans it was the easiest road to go from Piedmont to the Durance valley.
