Arch of Augustus in Susa

Highlight • Monument

Susa is a city rich in history and monuments. Of Roman origin (the ancient Segusium), it preserves, stratified in the urban fabric of the historic center, evidence of the Roman era (of which the Arch of Augustus and the Roman arena are the most striking examples!), notable medieval remains (castle of the Marchioness Adelaide, historic village, Porta Savoia...).
A visit route can start from the station square (convenient for parking), then continuing along Via Roma (full of shops and bars), crossing the bridge over the Dora, then continuing along the main street until turning right into Via Palazzo di Città (thus passing under the thirteenth-century Civic Tower).
Here the medieval porticoes are notable, continuing straight you arrive at the foot of the imposing castle of the Marchioness Adelaide, here you will find the signs for the Roman arena (detour to the left). Back, continue climbing the steps at the foot of the castle to the top where, in a small space, remains of distant eras coexist: the Roman aqueduct, at the foot cup-shaped rocks perhaps from the Celtic era, not far away the Arch of Augustus and the entrance to the internal courtyard of the castle. Going down, you pass under the Arch of Augustus, cross the public gardens admiring the remains of the medieval walls and arrive in Piazza Savoia. Here you turn right, pass under the beautiful Porta Savoia and arrive in the most suggestive corner of Susa, Piazza S. Giusto, dominated by the beautiful cathedral of the same name.
You can admire some well-renovated medieval houses before taking Via Francesco Rolando which quickly leads back to Via Roma.

The Mont Cenis hill connects the Susa valley, Italy, with the Maurienne, France. The pass, located at an altitude of 2,085 metres, is located entirely on French soil.

Bussoleno

Highlight • Settlement

Bussoleno is a town that stands on the banks of the Dora Riparia, in the province of Turin.
The town assumed particular importance during the Middle Ages.

Arrived in Susa today. Left yesterday evening. Did some shopping and power nap. Tough opening ride, but beautiful climb, the Mont Cenis. First part very beautiful but with steep parts (19%).
Enjoyed beautiful surroundings

Destination chosen based on the weather: wonderful surprise 🤩🤩

Alternative itinerary to get to the Moncenisio dam, trying to avoid the busy state road as much as possible. Shortly after the start of the climb, turn off to Venaus and through Novalesa to reach the small village of Moncenisio, where we have two possibilities. Either go back on asphalt to Bar Cenisio, or take the Sentiero del Re (on …
