If you’re visiting Turin and want to experience the beauty of the Italian Alps without committing to a full day, this half-day hike is your ideal escape. In less than an hour from the city, the landscape transforms from urban streets to alpine valleys, forests, and panoramic peaks.

This short yet rewarding hike offers a deep taste of mountain life — the scent of pine trees, the sound of streams, and sweeping views over the Susa Valley and Avigliana Lakes. Depending on your interests and fitness level, your local guide will tailor the route to suit you: from an easy lakeside stroll to a moderate climb to Rocca Sella Peak (1500 m) or a scenic walk through Orsiera Rocciavrè Natural Park.
