Colle Croce di Ferro, Mountain pass in Usseglio, Italy.

The Colle Croce di Ferro stands at 2546 meters elevation, connecting Valle di Viù and Val di Susa through stone paths and alpine meadows.

After 1938, the military incorporated the Margone-Malciaussia road and mule track from Malciaussia to Colle Croce di Ferro into their defensive mountain system.

The small settlement of Pietramorta near the pass houses artisans during summer months, displaying wooden figures and traditional crafts along the path.

The ascent from Lago di Malciaussia follows a marked trail with white-red signs of the GTA, taking approximately three hours to reach the summit.

The former military barracks XI, now known as Capanna Sociale Aurelio Ravetto, remains open year-round at 2545 meters beside the iron cross marker.

Elevation above the sea: 2,546 m

GPS coordinates: 45.18842,7.14588
