Val di Susa, between Piedmont and France, is an area full of tourist and cultural attractions. There are a lot of scattered villages, archaeological sites, monuments, nature trails and abbeys, such as the famous Sacra di San Michele, not far from Turin. The valley is so rich in places of interest, that it should be explored little by little, with due attention.
Sestriere is the municipality with the highest altitude of Italy (2035 m a.s.l.). Being close to many alpine passes, it has always been a point of passage between Italy and France. This has led to the development of different commercial, cultural and spiritual realities over several centuries. Just think of the Via Francigena, traveled by medieval pilgrims going to the East.
