Ceres

Tucked into Val Grande di Lanzo in Piedmont’s Graian Alps, Ceres is a place whose character is shaped by its narrow mountain valley and the upper Stura di Valgrande. The municipality belongs to the Lanzo Valleys northwest of Turin, where settlement follows the valley floor beneath wooded slopes and higher Alpine terrain. Ceres has long been the mountain terminus of the Turin–Ceres railway; its extension to the town opened in 1916, strengthening links between these valleys and the city. It represents the quieter inland side of metropolitan Turin, away from the main routes to Italy’s lakes. Browse additional webcams from the Lanzo Valleys to extend your view of Piedmont.
