Description:

   From the original description:
To the tourist who proceeds across the Col-de-Julien to Bobi, the Serre-le-Cruel—a celebrated post of Arnaud and his victorious followers—will be an object of peculiar attraction.  It is a little out of the common track, on the rugged banks of the Subiasca torrent, but, once attained, all fatigue will be forgotten, and the stranger feel himself repaid by one of the finest and most extensive views in the whole circuit of the Valleys.  It comprises the entire basin of the Val Pelice, from the Col-de-la-Croix above Bobi, to Villar; the fantastic meanderings of the river ; the road winding down the rugged flank of Col-de-Julien ; Monte Viso soaring directly in front, and La Sarcena—another of the old Waldensian watch posts—raising  its  monumental crest between.   Every feature in this extraordinary landscape is of a bold and impressive character. Associated with so many historical facts, it invites contemplation, and leads the mind back to those fearful times when the persecuted native had no citadel but these inaccessible rocks—no consolation but in his unsullied faith—no personal security but what he could purchase with the sword.
