A "must see"

The Waldensian Valleys include the Pellice, Germanasca and low Chisone. In ancient times they also included the high Chisone and Susa Valleys, which were French until 1713. This is a small region in the western Piedmont mountains, a little more than an hour by car from Turin.

In recent decades the phenomenon of minorities and interest in their cultural heritage has aroused growing fascination with the Waldensians and their valleys. It has helped in forming an awareness of a special identity in the inhabitants and tourists visiting the area.

The Huguenot cross, the churches, and the Waldensian customs are expressions of this cultural and spiritual tradition. In the Waldensian valleys there are many natural and historical places of interest for visitors.
