…but when the COVID-19 emergency will be over, how many things I will do and see in Valle di Susa!
In these difficult days, we at the Hotel Etoile des Neiges also recommend everyone to stay at home!
But, if you want some suggestions about something nice to do while you are at home, we suggest you to explore the beauty of the Valle di Susa and its surrounding areas.
We are sure that you will be fascinated and that you will look forward, at the end of the emergency, to come in person to stay in these wonderful places that will help you to forget the sad days of quarantine and will make you return to appreciate how beautiful is outdoor life, especially in the mountains of our beautiful valley.
We are optimistic and hope that this situation will end before the arrival of summer; therefore the itineraries and places that we suggest below are mainly of summer nature, although many of them can be fully enjoyed even in winter with snowshoes on your feet.
