Mont Chaberton, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes, France.
Mont Chaberton reaches an elevation of 3,131 meters with a pyramidal shape and flat top in the Massif des Cerces of the French Alps.
The Italian military constructed an artillery battery with eight masonry towers at the summit between 1898 and 1910 to protect their territorial interests.
The mountain changed nationality from Italian to French territory in 1947, marking a significant shift in the border between these two Alpine nations.
Hikers can reach the summit through a T1 classified trail from Montgenèvre resort, requiring proper equipment and physical preparation for high altitude conditions.
The mountain earned the name 'battleship of the clouds' due to its eight artillery towers, which French forces partially destroyed during World War II.
