A series of machine-gun and anti-tank positions on Colle Pion.
On Colle Pion, visitors can see a series of Cold War machine-gun positions, still preserving their original camouflage. One is disguised as a rock, while another is concealed beneath a prefabricated structure. Nearby, it is also possible to see the outline of the emplacement that once housed a tank and the various access points leading into the fortifications, which are now completely inaccessible.
Directions
The positions can be visited by following the Cold War itinerary on Colle Pion.Coordinates
