Ouvrage La Moutière, Military fortification at Col de la Moutière, French Alps, France.
The fortification includes three armed blocks and one emergency exit block, connected through underground galleries at an elevation of 2440 meters.
Built between 1931 and 1935, this defensive position formed part of the Alpine Line extension of the Maginot Line during the interwar period.
The fortress exemplifies French military engineering with its design incorporating machine gun positions and specialized underground facilities for troops.
The structure contains specific areas for troop accommodation, technical installations, and ammunition storage, supported by two diesel-powered electrical generators.
The garrison maintained a fortified barracks in a semi-buried shelter at a lower altitude, with surrounding stone masonry firing positions still visible today.
