ヴィッラールフォッキアルドの洞窟・トップ8

Remains of the Sacra monastery complex, just before the "main course".

Nice little town, but not really cyclist-friendly: the castle, a nice point of interest, is accessible only if you go to eat a lot (they say explicitly: "We are not a museum, a bar, a restaurant - here we have lunch, dinner and a snack"), the fountains are not drinkable, in short, the impression is that of being unwelcome guests. That said, visiting it in their face is a great satisfaction.

last stretch of the road that goes up to Colle Braida, well paved but very crowded, be careful especially when going down. the last 100 meters are paved, to get to the entrance

The Sacra di San Michele is an abbey perched on the summit of Mount Pirchiriano. From the 12th to the 15th century it experienced its best period becoming one of the main centers of Benedictine spirituality in Italy. Today it can be visited and, after climbing the 243 steps, from its summit you can enjoy a splendid view of the valley.

Village in the Susa Valley. Starting point to go up to Cortavetto, where we find the Paradiso delle Rane lake

Locality of Val di Susa, where an excellent quality and size of "Marrone" chestnuts is collected and sold

These ancient ruins nestled on the summit a few steps from the Sagra di San Michele and surrounded by mountains, make you imagine being in a fantasy setting.
