무덤 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Among the Roman ruins in Susa, this is one of the best preserved. Accessible by bike and free of charge, it's well worth a visit.

The Clarea mills can be reached from the Ramats hamlet of Chiomonte, walking in about an hour along the panoramic path that begins at the western end of the town (with a beautiful view of Rocciamelone) and continuing always halfway up the hill and slightly downhill, until the path, gradually bending to the left, enters the Clarea valley. On the terraces that can be seen along the mountain, chestnut trees and vines were once grown!

This site, now besieged by brambles, was once (we are talking about 1700...) a very active place for grinding both chestnuts, which here represented a precious source of sustenance, and walnuts, from which oil was obtained. Of the six millstones listed in those years, two currently survive, one of the "vertical" type (with the millstones arranged vertically and rotating around a common axis) and one of the "horizontal" type, of a much more primitive design, with the millstone arranged flat and connected directly to a blade turbine (still in place) that made it turn with the force of the water. It can be difficult to reach the site, but it is still worth both a visit and a reflection to understand how, once upon a time, the economy of this portion of the valley "turned" (literally!)!

Under the trees, the trail is paved in many places. Don’t be impressed by the prickly brambles grown up to the trail from time to time, it is never too long…

At a glance you can see three modes of transport: the motorway to the Frejus tunnel, the road and the railway line in the narrow valley. Above the Alpe d'Arguel.
