Along the Piova stream lies Valle Sacra, the 'green lung' of Canavese: woods, pastures and streams, dotted with stone villages and the ancient chapels that give it its name. It's a valley to experience on foot, among woodland trails, high-altitude pastures and views that open up unexpectedly. Overhead, it's not unusual to spot a paraglider; at the table, mountain-pasture cheeses and artisan cured meats tell a story of mountain tradition. Here's what to do, depending on who's travelling with you.
