In the heart of Canavese lies the Valle Sacra, a place where time seems to have stopped, allowing nature and history to weave together a tapestry of rare beauty. Here, the small stream Piova meanders silently, marking the rhythm of the seasons and the lives of those who have inhabited this land of charm and mystery for centuries.

Crossing the Valle Sacra, one encounters villages that encapsulate the authentic soul of Piedmont. Every stone, every alleyway, seems to whisper stories of ancient traditions, of popular festivals that still today bring communities together in celebrations rich in history and passion. These places, guardians of priceless heritage, invite one to slow down, to breathe in the tranquility that only a deep connection with the land can offer.

Along the banks of the Piova stream, nature unfolds in all its majestic serenity, offering idyllic scenes where the green of the woods is reflected in the crystal-clear waters. This is the realm of hiking and trekking, where trails and mule tracks lead to the discovery of breathtaking landscapes, ancient ruins, and small scattered chapels, testimonies of a faith that has always accompanied the lives of the valley’s inhabitants.

Valle Sacra is also a melting pot of flavors, where gastronomy becomes the expression of a culture that finds its highest expression in local raw materials. Here, the products of the land, cultivated with wisdom and respect, give life to dishes that speak of labor, celebration, and conviviality. From cheeses produced in small mountain dairies to artisanal salumi and traditional sweets, every taste is a journey into flavors that are deeply rooted in a generous and welcoming land.

Valle Sacra, with its Piova stream, is an invitation to immerse oneself in a world where the beauty of nature merges with traces of a past that still lives in the present. Here, hospitality is a promise kept, where mountain refuges, farmhouses, and B&Bs offer rest and warmth, allowing anyone to find a corner of peace and beauty, away from the frenetic rhythms of modern life.

In this valley, where the stream serves as a conduit between the past and future, every visit becomes an opportunity to rediscover the pleasure of exploration, of slowness, and of authentic contact with nature and the stories of men and women who, for generations, have preserved its essence.
