Fort de Cindey, Military fortress in Saint-Maurice, Switzerland
Fort de Cindey sits within the rock face of Scex cliff, featuring an extensive network of underground galleries and military installations.
The fortress, completed in 1954 after two construction phases, formed part of Switzerland's National Redoubt defense system during World War II.
The fort maintains original military equipment and presents exhibits about Swiss defensive strategies through guided educational tours.

The fortress connects to neighboring Fort du Scex through natural cave formations known as Grotte aux Fées.
