Cesana Torinese

The landscape around Cesana Torinese is high Alpine terrain in the upper Susa Valley, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. At the confluence of the Ripa and Thuras streams, which form the Dora Riparia, the town stands near the French border and the Montgenèvre pass. Cesana is part of the Via Lattea ski area, linking Italian slopes with Montgenèvre in France. Its Sansicario district hosted bobsleigh, luge and skeleton competitions during the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, a reminder of the area’s sporting role. The old centre retains the compact scale of a mountain settlement, while surrounding hamlets lead towards high passes and ski terrain.
