OFFROAD in Alta Val Susa and Chisone

In the Upper Susa and Chisone Valleys, the most scenic and spectacular spots in the area can be reached by travelling on 2 or 4 wheels and using the network of ex-military dirt roads that wind through valleys, plateaus, hamlets and mountain pastures.
Sinceantiquity, Val Susa has been a preferential access route to the Po Valley and Italy for those coming from the West: the Monginevro and Moncenisio passes have seen the passage of armies, travellers, merchants, kings and pilgrims. The strategic importance of this access is also attested by the many military works carried out from the 17th century to the present day, with imposing testimonies that have come down to us: for example, a network of high-altitude roads, necessary for the movement of troops in service to the forts, outposts, barracks, mallets and observation posts that face each other at altitudes always above 2000 m, in some cases touching 3000 m.
Today, these roads are a historical, scenic and environmental heritage that can be enjoyed by different types of hikers, who travel them on foot, by bicycle, on horseback, by car or motorbike.
The Assietta and Pramand roads, the Colle del Sommeiller, the Monti della Luna trails, and the Valle Argentera are the setting for this journey through the Val Susa and Val Chisone, hundreds of kilometres long.
