Ouvrage Sapey was a work (gros ouvrage) of the Maginot Line's Alpine extension, the Alpine Line, also known as the Little Maginot Line. The ouvrage consisted of one entry block, two artillery blocks and one observation block two kilometers west of Modane. The ouvrage was built on the much older Fort du Sapey.
