Viu

Built around a mountain settlement in the Stura di Viù valley, Viù grew into a small Alpine commune in Piedmont’s Metropolitan City of Turin. This is one of the three Lanzo Valleys, where the Stura di Viù descends from the Graian Alps towards the plains west of Turin. Steep valley slopes, woods and high pastures shape the town’s surroundings rather than urban density. Mountain farming remains part of local identity, while the wider Lanzo area is associated with Toma di Lanzo, a traditional cow’s-milk cheese. Roads and footpaths lead on towards upper-valley hamlets and Alpine terrain. Find related webcams in the Lanzo Valleys and across the Graian Alps to build a fuller picture of Piedmont’s Alpine interior.
