Today Susa Magic Ring trekking is presented; live an adventure with an experienced hiking guide to discover the spectacular alpine environments. In this trekking, fit for families and children, explores some very interesting and peculiar places with wild animals and historical places.
During the second world war French and Italian soldiers were fighting in this region and now many fortifications and hidden shelters are still present. Susa is a Romanic city and some building are more than 2000 years old. In short this hiking is not only a natural and adventurous experience; maybe the most amazing place is the “Buco di Thullie“(Thullie Hole), a 550 meters artificial cave excavated with a pick axe by Colombano Romean, a kind of hero in these lands. Romean built this amazing hole in order to ensure teh provision of water to the valley. Till now more than 5000 people lives here thanks to this amazing work which was made in 7 years!
The natural places are also very beautiful. Wild animal sight will be very probable (chamois and small dears but also marmots, stoats and eagles). The walks are challenging but not impossible and the hiking could be very fit for willing children as well. The highest point of the hiking is the Giusalet Peak 3313 meters. Up there the landscape is just unforgettable!!
