80th anniversary of the Roc Noir battles

Join us for a day focused on the history of La Rosière during the Second World War.

On 23 March 1945, at an altitude of 2,340 metres, the Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard in Savoie was held by the Germans. The soldiers of the 13th Battalion of Alpine Hunters launched an offensive to reclaim it. A fierce battle ensued, lasting a full week. The Battle of Roc Noir was one of the most challenging and one of the few victories in the Alps at that time. 80 years later, we invite you to remember this history.

Programme:
- From 10 AM: Exhibition of equipment and vehicles of the Alpine Hunters
- Throughout the day: Performance by the 27th Battalion Alpine Hunters' band and music session
- 8:30 PM: Commemorative ceremony of the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Roc Noir by the 13th Battalion of Alpine Hunters
