The route enters the forest retracing the path of the now disused Decauville railway and passes next to the Beatrix Alpine hut. The route continues on the dirt road that climbs from Rochemolles until reaching the Rochemolles Dam.
The Decauville railway line, built between 1919 and 1921 to allow the transport of materials needed for the construction of the Rochemolles Dam, was 7.8 km long and 2 meters wide and laid its tracks on the current route.
The Rochemolles Dam was built from 1924 to 1930 by the State Railways who, following the electrification of several railway lines including the Turin - Modane line, decided to become independent in energy production.
1968, with the transfer of ownership of the dam and all movable and immovable properties from the State Railways to Enel, marked the end of the railway.
