Ecomuseum - Fort Gondo, Simplon Dorf
The exhibition in the Soldatenstube contains illustrative material from military history. It is about a once secret fortification which was of strategic importance in the Gondo Gorge. Construction of this barrage began a hundred years ago. Today, the Stockalperweg leads through the complex. The premises with all the facilities and technical installations for quartering the troops can be visited on a guided tour. The exhibition in the soldiers' room uses objects, archival documents, plans and models to show the military presence on the Simplon during active service in the First and Second World Wars, as well as the history of the fort's construction.
