History
Nowadays entirely included in French territory, it separates the valleys of Dora Riparia and Arc. At the top is a large fortification built by the Italian Regio Esercito in 1889, on two floors, which could house some 200 troops. The area was further fortified in 1932-1940 during the construction of the Alpine Wall.

gollark: Split up the space to search and have each core do a bit in parallel, I don't see the problem.
gollark: Aren't those ridiculously expensive? How much do you want to spend on bruteforcing flags for purposes?
gollark: I'd assume it's GPUable, since you can break up the space to scan pretty easily and have each bit of that run independently in parallel.
gollark: It's less fun when you can accidentally get `[object Object]` because of mixing up a type somewhere.
