What to do in Valchiusella

The secret valley of the Chiusella, between crystal-clear pools and mining villages

Crossed by the Chiusella stream and enclosed by mountains, Valchiusella is the 'secret valley' of Canavese: lots of water, rock and green. Its crystal-clear pools — the Guje di Garavot — invite wild swimming in summer; the villages of Brosso and Traversella tell centuries of iron mining; the morainic lakes of Alice and Meugliano rest among peat bogs. A valley to explore on foot, among mountain pastures, aged tome cheeses and wild herbs. Here's what to do depending on who you're travelling with.
