ヴェナーウスのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Rock outcrop with panoramic views of the entire Clarea, Niblè and Ambin valleys, up to Col Clapier

The Marzo granges, now in ruins, mark the end (or beginning, depending on the direction of travel) of the remarkable former military trail that connected the granges to Bar Cenisio. This trail, with its very regular layout, is one of the many testaments to the construction skills of the military "engineers" in the years between the two world wars and, despite the lack of maintenance, remains passable (even fun downhill on a mountain bike, S1-S2 with a couple of trickier sections). Following the trail uphill, just before reaching the granges, you'll notice the signpost, which seems to appear out of nowhere... shortly after, you'll come across a spectacular balcony, which offers a glimpse of the Mont Cenis and the entire ridge that leads from Lamet to Rocciamelone. To the right, you'll see the lower Susa Valley. It's an ideal place for a break, if it's not too windy; the only drawback is that there's no water. Following the signs for the Avanzà refuge and allowing about twenty minutes, you'll reach the center of a beautiful valley crossed by a stream. The descent to Pra Piano is steep but not difficult. Be careful only in case of thunderstorms, as this section is exposed to lightning!

The Abbey of Saints Peter and Andrew, also known as the Abbey of (or of) Novalesa, is an ancient Benedictine abbey founded in the 8th century and located in the municipality of Novalesa, in the Susa Valley. Since 1972 the abbey complex has been publicly owned, having been purchased in a dilapidated state by the Province of Turin, now the Metropolitan City of Turin, which entrusted it back to the Benedictine monks. The agreement with the Sublacense Benedictine Congregation has made it possible to enhance the historical and artistic importance of the monument and to spread knowledge of the ancient spiritual, cultural and social tradition of the Benedictine abbey.[1] One of the chapels of the complex houses two important cycles of frescoes from the 11th century, one dedicated to the titular Saint Eldrado and the other, among the first known in the West, to Saint Nicholas of Bari.

Go to the 2nd floor of the waterfall (sign), it’s worth the detour

BENEDICTINE ABBEY OF SS. PIETRO AND ANDREA IN NOVALESA. Founded in 726 and located in Val Cenischia (Susa), the Abbey belongs to the Metropolitan City of Turin, which takes care of it, and since 1973 it has been entrusted to the custody of the Benedictine monks of the Sublacense Cassinese Congregation of the Order of Saint Benedict.

Easy to reach, a spectacle of nature not to be missed

for Novalesa, at a certain point there is a stone fountain and take the road to the right, from there shortly after we find a climb to the left and we arrive at the waterfalls

The abbey also hosts a museum on the finds found, on the history of the monks and on the restoration techniques of ancient books relating to the laboratory of the monks of the abbey. Of notable interest are the frescoes in the 12th century chapel of San Eldrardo which can only be seen with a guided tour.
