Val Chisone is perhaps one of those hidden Italian treasures that no one tells you about. Yet there's plenty of things to do in this valley surrounded by Winter Olympic venues, even in summer.
Val Chisone is the next valley south of the better-known Valle di Susa.
Here you'll find pictures of the incredible Fenestrelle Fortress; its 4000 steps take you up 650 meters, mostly via covered walkways. There are many painted mural villages, some fine local cuisine, and museums documenting the hard life of past inhabitants. And of course, mountain biking, hiking and skiing are possible almost everywhere.
Our Val Chisone photo gallery covers only a few of the possibilities for adventure here, yet it will give you an idea of the mountain scenery and breadth of touristic activities available.
