Sperrstelle San Giacomo, Military fortress in Bedretto, Switzerland
The Sperrstelle San Giacomo fortress contains two sections with gun positions, observation stands, and multiple machine gun installations across different levels.
Built between 1935 and 1939, the fortress was constructed to counter potential threats after Italy built a road to San Giacomo Pass in 1929.
The fortress represents Swiss military engineering and defensive strategy, incorporating local terrain features into its structural design and placement.
Visitors can reach the fortress through marked hiking trails from May to October, with guided tours available upon advance reservation.
The complex includes two military cableways connecting All'Acqua to Grandinagia and San Giacomo Pass, facilitating supplies transport at 2122 meters elevation.
