Museo Forte Bramafam, Bardonecchia

A morning immersed in our history between photos and videos that you recall the memory at that time ... A must place to come back to even with friends

I went with my family and friends to the Bramafan originating in Bardonecchia I have unveiled many curiosities and anecdotes not otherwise available. Having said that the Fort was renovated with great care. The tour is very impressive and the scenes of military life (from the nineteenth century to the partisan war) were rebuilt flawlessly carrying the visitor back in time and reviving the atmosphere from the barracks at the time. Definitely worth a visit.

A journey began with some difficulty due to the almost total absence of signs to get to the Fort and the condition of the last stretch of road, quite complicated to go by car. The Fort is still amply repaid the effort made to achieve it. Built to protect the mouth of the Fréjus tunnel from any episodes of French troops, has become now a beautiful Italian military history museum in order to preserve the memory of the past, reviving visitors through objects and environments of fortification, the difficult years of the war. The visit starts from the outside with the big guns. A fortnight between guns and howitzers, belonging to different historical periods, occupy the entire fleet of the Fort from where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the mountains. We then moves inside, where they were rebuilt with meticulousness, environments that characterize life at the Fort. Here, you can admire the memorabilia of all kinds, all kept in perfect condition. Furnishings, military uniforms, war relics, historical documents and more. A wonderful collection well told and well exposed thanks to a commendable Museum. The visit is not guided but the friendly staff provide a wealth of information when making the ticket (including a map of the Fort to orient themselves within it) and makes itself available for any questions or concerns. The Fort is quite large and there are many things to see, so take your time to admire it in its entirety. I also recommend in summer, to bring a sweater because it's cold out there in the basement of the forte do. Especially for fans of military history but not only, I recommend a visit.
