Valsavarenche The History

The municipality of Valsavarenche has ancient origins and is believed to have been inhabited since Roman times.
The valley was known for its wealth of minerals and its strategic location between Piedmont and France.
In the Middle Ages, the valley was disputed between the Savoy family and local lords until it finally came under the rule of the Savoy family in the 15th century, to whom the historic royal mule track, the Savoy refuge, and the Vittorio Emanuele refuge are dedicated.
