The Fort du Télégraphe or Fort Berwick is located in the Maurienne valley on the road to the Col du Galibier between Valloire and Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne at the Col du Télégraphe dominating the valley of the Arc. The location at an altitude of 1585 metres (5200 ft) previously accommodated a telegraph of the Chappe system using articulating arms to send messages between Lyon and Milan and after 1809 Venice.
