Fort des Salettes, Military fort in Briançon, France.

Fort des Salettes is a stone fortification at 1,490 m above Briançon, on the first hairpin bends toward the Croix de Toulouse. Its long tan masonry wall has a multi-sided structure with arched openings and vertical slits, and a rectangular gatehouse with a pitched roof and dark gateway. A steep rocky slope with scattered trees rises to the walls.

Vauban conceived the fort during his first visit to Briançon in 1692, and it was built between 1709 and 1712 to guard the road toward Italy. In 1840 it was converted into an artillery position with the addition of casemates, bastions and an outer ditch. It was listed as a monument historique on 14 February 1989, and in 2008 UNESCO inscribed it with the Fort des Trois Têtes, the Fort du Randouillet, the Pont d'Asfeld and Briançon's city walls as part of the Vauban fortifications.

The fort's name comes from the Salettes slope above Briançon. Since 2008 it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing of Vauban's major sites, together with Fort des Têtes, Fort du Randouillet, the Pont d'Asfeld and Briançon's town walls. Volunteers of the Club du Vieux Manoir, a youth association, restore and protect the monument.

The location sits at high altitude where weather can change quickly, so visitors should bring layers and sturdy footwear for the terrain. The site is accessible during warmer months when mountain conditions allow safe passage.

The fort sits at the hairpin turns of a mountain road where it can watch over several valleys at the same time. This made it a key location for controlling multiple Alpine passages from a single vantage point.
