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.

Pian dell'Alpe

Highlight • Natural Monument

I arrived at Colle del Finestre around 7pm and was in a wonderful mood as the sun broke through the clouds. Had something to eat at the Rifugio on the Pian dell'Alpe and then stayed at the small campsite.

Pragelato, a town in Val Chisone, is about 82 km from Turin. It is a scattered municipality made up of multiple hamlets, set in a flat stretch of the valley. It is home to the splendid Val Troncea, embellished by the natural park of the same name, a true jewel of biodiversity and scenic beauty

Sestriere War Memorial and Cyclist Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

Sestriere is one of the places most loved by Italian athletes. In fact, this Piedmontese town boasts one of the most important ski areas in northern Italy: it hosted the alpine skiing trials of the 2006 Olympics. Sestriere was the scene of great cycling feats: Claudio Chiappucci won a legendary stage of the 1992 Tour de France here.

Montgenèvre Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de Montgenèvre connects Briançon, France, to Cesana Torinese, Italy. The pass, at 1,850 meters, is located entirely in France. The Montgenèvre pass is a historic pass: for the Romans it was the easiest road to go from Piedmont to the Durance valley.
