Mont Chaberton

At the end of the war France acquired the mountain, and the border was moved to the edge of the Italian village of Claviere.

Until 1947 Mont Chaberton was in Italy, located in the municipality of Cesana Torinese.

Between 1898 and 1910 Italian troops built an artillery battery on the summit that pointed towards France, in particular at the town of Briançon, and the pass to Italy over the Col de Montgenèvre.
