The Free Summer Guide 2024 is available, now in its 15th edition, conceived by the territorial enhancement plan "Valle di Susa. Treasures of Alpine Art and Culture," the result of collaboration with the Cozie Alps Parks, published by Graffio.

The free guide is a handy tool to discover the precious cultural and natural heritage of the Valle di Susa area, an exciting journey through archaeological sites, abbeys and monasteries, fresco cycles, Diocesan Museum System, museum collections, fortifications, material culture, natural parks, and taste, to help you plan your visits.
Over sixty pages translated into English and French, with images and short descriptive texts, present a complete list of 75 cultural sites in Valle di Susa that are open, managed, and accessible, with information on opening hours and contacts for further inquiries.
An easy-to-read map shows the tourist-cultural sites and information points (Atl, Iat, municipal tourist offices, tourism consortia).

A special focus is dedicated to the XV Archaeological Heritage Day of the Valle di Susa scheduled for Sunday, September 29th, with this year's theme being "Roads, Networks, and Connections."
