The main towns of the entire route are Susa, Oulx and Bardonecchia, reached by the railways and by public transport lines. It is therefore possible to reach all the other towns in the valley from these centres, so you can return if you do not wish to cover the entire route. The territory of the Upper Valle Susa from a hiking point of view, is full of attractions among which, the presence of numerous alpine refuges connected to the Sentiero Balcone (Balcony Trail) and other itineraries of local, regional and international interest such as the GTA or the Glorioso Rimpatrio dei Valdesi (Repatriation of the Waldensians) (GRV), the Sentiero dei Franchi (Path of the Franks) (SF).
