The Fort de Dailly is the largest component of Fortress Saint-Maurice which is in turn one of the three principal fortified regions of the National Redoubt of Switzerland. Almost entirely subterranean the Fort de Dailly was built in the Massif de Dailly to the east of Saint-Maurice beginning in 1892. With the Fort de Savatan it comprises a fortress complex encased in rock high above the strategic Saint-Maurice valley capable of commanding the valley from Chillon to Martigny.
