Susa Valley, Alpine valley in Metropolitan City of Turin, Italy.
Susa Valley is an Alpine valley situated between the Graian and Cottian Alps with the Dora Riparia river running through it. Multiple settlements and pass roads make this place a key route connecting regions to the north and south.
The Romans built a major road through the valley under Emperor Augustus, connecting Italy to France across mountain passes. This ancient route shaped centuries of trade and movement between peoples across the mountains.
Medieval abbeys like Novalesa and Sacra di San Michele remain as pilgrimage destinations that have drawn travelers for centuries. These religious centers shaped the valley's spiritual character and continue to welcome visitors today.
The valley provides access to several ski resorts with different difficulty levels for winter sports. Visitors should consider the season, as winter conditions and snowfall can affect road travel through the area.
A spectacular railway tunnel pierces through the mountains creating a direct link between Italy and France beneath the peaks. This tunnel was an engineering feat that changed how people and goods moved between the two countries.
