This one-day tour follows Piedmont’s historical axis of connection with Western Europe—the Susa Valley—tracing the footsteps of Hannibal and the pilgrims who journeyed along the medieval Via Francigena, linking Canterbury to Rome through France. Since my adolescence, I have often hiked the mystical path leading to the majestic symbol of Piedmont: the Sacra di San Michele, a breathtaking medieval abbey, perched on a rocky outcrop, which offers not only spiritual inspiration but also stunning panoramic views of the entire Turin. On the way to the top, we will stop at the charming medieval town of Avigliana and admire its picturesque Alpine lakes. After a leisurely downhill walk, we’ll continue to Susa, where we’ll discover impressive Roman relics, including the ancient amphitheater and Augustus’ Arch. The tour includes as well visits to two more essential monuments of medieval Piedmont: the Carolingian Novalesa Abbey, founded by Benedictine monks in 726, and the Commandery (Abbey) of Saint Antony of Ranverso
• Depart from Turin and visit the Abbey of Saint Antony of Ranverso with its masterpieces of Gothic art and medieval spirituality. • Transfer to Avigliana for a stroll through its charming medieval center. • Scenic drive uphill to the Sacra of Saint Micheal with a photo stop at Avigliana’s picturesque alpine lakes on the way. • Arrival to the Sacra and visit of its breathtaking premises overlooking the valley and Turin. • Optional for active travelers: a serene 2 km downhill walk (40 min) through the forest, with pickup at the lower parking lot. • Drive through the Susa valley with sightseeing of key historical sites. • Optional lunch to enjoy gourmet Piedmontese specialties at a local restaurant. • Drive to Novalesa and visit of the Abbey and its quaint village. • Drive to Susa town and visit. Return to Turin, concluding the tour. Seasonal Highlight: in different locations of the itinerary, there are festivals including Medieval reenactments, open-air concerts at the Abbeys and food fairs.
