Ouvrage Saint Ours Haut, Military museum in Val-d'Oronaye, France.
The military museum contains underground corridors and rooms, including sleeping quarters, command posts, and defensive structures integrated into the mountain landscape.
Constructed during the 1930s as part of the Maginot Line, this fortification served as a strategic defense point along the French Alpine border.
The museum exhibits showcase the daily operations and communication systems between different Alpine fortresses in Savoie and Ubaye regions.
Currently closed to visitors in 2024, updates about reopening schedules and future activities can be found on the official Val-d'Oronaye website.
Three distinct shooting bells protrude from the mountainside, marking the location of this underground military complex built into natural terrain.
