Usseglio

Usseglio is best known within Piedmont for Lake Malciaussia, the mountain reservoir above the settlement at the head of Valle di Viù. The commune lies in the Graian Alps, where the Stura di Viù runs through a narrow valley toward the Lanzo Valleys. Stone-and-plaster hamlets reflect an Alpine pastoral tradition shaped by long winters and high passes. Usseglio also maintains the Museo Civico Alpino Arnaldo Tazzetti, dedicated to the history and everyday life of these mountain communities. In warmer months, the roads and trails around the lake bring walkers and cyclists into the upper valley, while snow defines the quieter cold season.
