Chiusella, Creek in Chiusella Valley, Turin, Italy

The Chiusella flows for 41 kilometers through the Piedmont region, starting from the Graian Alps and connecting with the Dora Baltea river.

Mining operations in the Chiusella Valley date back to Roman times, with the Traversella-Brosso complex becoming the largest iron extraction site in Western Alps.

The valley preserves traditional mountain activities while offering geological exploration opportunities through clearly marked pathways and educational programs.

The river maintains an average water flow of 6.1 cubic meters per second, supporting local water resources through the Lake Gurzia dam system.

The valley contains rocks from Earth's crust and mantle, allowing visitors to walk along the Insubric line, a major tectonic boundary in the Alps.
