Pontechianale

Pontechianale has served as a mountain municipality in Piedmont’s upper Varaita Valley since the mid-20th century. Near the French border, its scattered hamlets lie along the Varaita River in the Cottian Alps, while Lago di Castello occupies part of the valley floor. Chianale, one of the municipality’s historic settlements, is known for its closely built stone-and-wood houses and belongs to I Borghi più belli d’Italia, an association of notable Italian small towns. The surrounding high country shapes local life through summer hiking and winter mountain sports.
