TORINO SKI REGION“El diau, el diau!” “The devil! The devil!” It was in 1897 andsome mountain people from Sauze d’Oulx witnessed ared-faced man with a long white beard descending from theslopes, with long wooden skis attached to his feet. He was aSwiss engineer, Adolf Kind, and the wooden skis were thefirst seen in Italy. Today there are more than a hundredski-lifts and 1500 km of slopes for all levels – as well asalpine skiing, sledges and huskies, telemark skiing and thesnowboarding. For those with more extreme tastes the zonealso caters to ice climbing, free-riding and other similarsports.
I’l Cervino/Matterhorn and Monte Bianco/Mont Blanc, thesetwo magical giants, will undoubtedly make all your dreamscome true by providing some of the best skiing opportunitiesin Europe.

THE REGION #THEREGION#
In medieval times the ‘Franchi Pass’ wentthrough the valley – the main route toGaul. Thus many abbeys were constructedon the Via Francigena which rises toMoncenisio. The first one, found justoutside Turin at Rivoli, is Sant’Antonio diRanverso. The preceptory and adjacenthospital were founded in 1186 by UmbertoIII and then entrusted to the Antoniani diVienne priests. These structures were builtfor protection as well as to provide foodand lodging for travellers. Other castles inthe valley were aimed at defending thepeninsula from invaders – of whom therehave been many, from Carlo Magnoonwards. The most striking is undoubtedlythe Forte di Exiles, an extraordinaryexample of military architecture.
Food is important here – you’ll find manyof the best products of Piemontesetraditional mountain cuisine, many ofwhich have been given the mark of quality:salami, cheese (Murianengo, Toma delPiemonte, Raschera, Reblochon delMoncenisio), mushrooms, apples, thepotatoes of Cesana, wine (Cimont),liqueurs made with herbs (Genepy, fromthe mountains of Cesana). And of courseyou cannot leave without sampling thedelicious chocolate, like the famousGianduiotto.
Visitors to this corner of the country willfind that the Valle d’Aosta and Piedmontare quite distinct in character from the rest
of Italy. The long history of geo-politicalpower struggles with their Frenchneighbours and the mountainous alpineenvironment have created a uniqueidentity amongst the inhabitants. Frenchwas the official language in Piedmont onlya century ago, whilst in Aosta, it stillremains the administrative and legallanguage to this day, despite the majorityof people speaking Italian. Add to thisAosta’s autonomy from central governmentand it becomes clear why this area is seenas the most un-Italian part of Italy. This isperhaps most obvious in the gothic stylecastles that dot the landscape of these tworegions. Dating back to the reign of theRoyal House of Savoy, the imposingfortifications set amongst the majesty ofthe mountains, help lend a fairytale air tothe surroundings which is far removedfrom the suave sophistication of the ItalianRiviera and the grandiosity of Rome.
Fortunately this ‘otherness’ doesn’t haveany bearing on the region’s gastronomicstandards which more than hit the heightsexpected of Italian cuisine. Throughout thetwo regions there is a pride in thetraditional dishes that have been passeddown through the ages and this manifestsitself in an abundance of excellentrestaurants. The region also producessome excellent wines that will ensure thatthe connoisseurs amongst you will be wellcatered for.
THE RESORTS #THE RESORTS#
