Because in Fenestrelle there is the “Great Fortress”, the fortified complex built from the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century, more commonly known as the Fort of Fenestrelle, that, because of its size and its development along the left side of the valley, is also known as the Great Wall of Piedmont. From 1999 it became the symbol of the Province of Turin. Do not miss all the many minor fortifications in the area.

Because it is a place connected directly with the paths of the GTA circuit and with many other trails for hiking, Nordic walking, mountain biking and horseback riding, suitable for any level of experience and preparation. Some of these venture into the territory of the Park Orsiera Rocciavré, where you can spot many endangered animal species.
