GAD

Gad is located at 1068 m. above sea level. It is the village downstream Oulx at the border with Salbertrand. During the works for the construction of the Frejus Highway a lake has been formed and nearby it a military polygon is partially used by the Brigata Alpina Taurinense. Gad is the point of departure of the “Sentiero dei Franchi”. There are also a big commercial centre and a camping. The little church is dedicated to Saint Claude and is already quoted till 1660 when Jean Allois -general- vicar visited the Oulx vicar. Outside the village in a  place called Ponte Ventoso there is a Chapel dedicated to the Annunciation
