Among the towns of Piedmont, Salassa stands out for its position on the Canavese plain beneath the Graian Alps. This small comune belongs to the Metropolitan City of Turin and lies in the northern part of the wider Turin plain, where cultivated land leads towards Alpine valleys. The Orco is one of Canavese’s principal rivers, while nearby Rivarolo Canavese is an important local centre. Salassa represents the quieter, small-town character of historic Canavese, a district connecting the Piedmont plain with mountain communities.
