An itinerary to discover one of the most scenic alpine roads in Piedmont: the Strada dell’Assietta.

This route, originally built as a military infrastructure to connect and control the high Alpine valleys, now offers an extraordinary experience combining history, nature and breathtaking landscapes. Travelling along it, visitors cross high-altitude environments characterised by vast pastures, alpine meadows and rich biodiversity, with privileged views of the main peaks of the Cottian Alps. A borderland where trade routes, armies, local communities and different cultures have met over the centuries.

Its military origins tell a story of a past shaped by fortifications, trails and troop movements, while today the area is enhanced by the natural heritage of the Gran Bosco di Salbertrand and Orsiera Rocciavré Natural Parks, managed by the Protected Areas Management Authority of the Cottian Alps.

A slow-paced journey at high altitude, aboard a dedicated shuttle, accompanied by a cultural guide, where every bend reveals a new perspective and every place preserves a story to be discovered.
