The infantry fortress in the Gondo Gorge played a central role in the defense of the borders during World War II. You can visit the fortress during a guided tour.
The Stockalper route today runs through the 350 meter long connecting gallery. During a guided tour with one of our expert guides, you can see the bunker rooms with their cannon, the soldiers' quarters, the central gallery, the officers' room and the kitchen. In the soldier's lounge, plans, photos, models and objects will explain the fortress museum and the history of the military presence in Simplon.
Did you know that the Simplon eagle was built with the stones removed during the dynamiting of the fort? Our guides will tell you other fascinating stories about the occupation of the border at Simplon.
