The soothing voice of the lake, one hour swimming in it and a sunny day is all I wanted in Aix les Bains. Amazing views and great place to be. It’s just an hour from Lyon by TER trains. Strong recommend it.

Great place to stop on N7 near Machezal. Off road, tree shade & picnic table  good place for a lunch break or rest. Good view of the lake

It is a very beautiful lake, if you are into running its a nice spot

Nice lake. Found it on google maps and visited it. Giid restaurants around and had a great walk.

Great scenery and the water has an optimal wetness.

Super panorama

3.5🌟 we reckon. On the way back from Annecy to Grenoble, we decided to stop in Chambery. It was still early. We were pleasantly surprised that the town has lots to offer too. We parked near the main square. As usual, there are lots of restaurants, cafes, ice-cream parlours at the square. Decided to stroll further after our evening drinks. We arrived at the fountain. Most fountains in larger towns we have seen are always grand and somewhat of a center piece. This one is no different. The elephants have their backs again the fountain, which is of course a defensive posture. As if to tell everyone, they are protecting the fountain. Walking further, we were greeted by several other monuments within the town. A worthwhile stopover with many sights to see.

Very beautiful historical fountain ⛲️ 😍 I don't know if the water is potable, but it doesn't look so. I used to sit in the near garden and enjoy reading.

Lovely French town with ample nice places to eat. Follow the brass elephants on the street beside the fountain for a self guided tour, going however quickly you like, to see some lovely old buildings built in typical French style.

A hidden gem in France. This is such a picturesque beautiful little town, with narrow streets and lovely restaurants. Slap bang in the middle of the French Alps.

This is the most famous location in chambery. You can visit all the famous place of chambery near to it. Statue is very fabulous and maintained it very well. Kids enjoying near to it.

La Fontaine des Éléphants in Chambéry is a true gem. The beauty of the sculpted elephants is simply breathtaking and the attention to detail is amazing. The fountain is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful and serene place to relax. The atmosphere is peaceful and calming, and it's a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. I highly recommend visiting La Fontaine des Éléphants for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful oasis in Chambéry. Whether you're a local or a tourist, this stunning fountain is not to be missed.

The elephant heads with the steep mountain slopes in the background reminded me of Hannibal's army, climbing the Alps to conquest the ancient Rome. However, these elephants look like Indian elephants which is intriguing, as the ones used by Hannibal in the war against Romans were most probably African elephants (with much larger ears). Then I learned that the monument is actually dedicated to a French mercenary born in Chambery, who made his fortune in India (General Count de Boigne). Interesting monument, anyway! It's the symbol of the city and not to be missed if you're around.

A great place to enjoy nature! It’s comfortable even on very hot days thanks to the plenty of shade and the cool breeze from the river. The trail is easy and suitable for all levels..

This was a fun walk, wear sensible foot wear - mostly so you don't loose your treasured flip flop into the torrent below! It's not expensive and it's pretty spectacular. Not challenging (unless you're not keen on high suspended walk ways over gorges and rapids!). Can be quite busy and parts get congested and require you wait for your turn to pass.

Absolutely stunning natural gorge open for 156 years. The footbridge was nicely build since than but with upgrades of course. For non adventurous peraon like me, it's scary to walk on the footbridge but definitely worth going here. Recommend to wear anti-slip shoes and bring less things with you. Ticket is at €6

Absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth the, in my opinion, small entry fee (€6,-). A nice walk through a steep and interestingly shaped gorge, where a narrow deck/bridge, suspended from the side of the wall, takes you along and above the flowing waters at the bottom of the crevices. For most of the route, the walkway is halfway between the top and bottom of the gorge, which gives a impressive view of the worn out stone and swirling river below. Near the end of the route, the walls open up and you get a view from just above the gorge. Looking down, there are many, massive blocks of stone that have sheared of the very walls you're standing on and have tumbled down into the waters. All in all a very impressive sight.

A truly magical place. I returned after two years and it didn't disappoint at all. Ps. look for the magic of the place, faces and creatures can hide in every stone ;)

Astonishing natural beauty with a wonderful high ledge walk. Was great that it was raining and quiet. Beautiful place

We had an amazing day there! We stayed in Annecy for a few days, without a car, and decided to go there by public transportation. It took around 1 hour by bus and we had to walk 20min (not an easy path, it was a steep descent which we had to go up after). The experience in Gorges du Fier worth the work to get there, the place is beautiful and it was not full of people, which made our pictures look so nice! There’s a small shop, bar and toilets before entering the park. Our card didn’t work to buy tickets so we paid with cash, keep this in mind because there’s no ATM there. I definitely recommend this visit! It’s totally possible with public transportation and walk but it’s easier by car! ☺️

Fantastic, very touristy nowadays but there are still some hidden gems that are quiet but you’ll need a car to find them (one was through an industrial estate so very hidden). Restaurants are great and people very friendly

This would have been beautiful in the right weather. It was just our luck that we arrived in the height of Summer, at the end of a heatwave and were met with heavy rain and thunderstorms o the water didn't have its famous greenish-blue hue. It is a lovely natural beauty surrounded by mountains.

I was just remembering how much we loved it there last year. My son and I rented bikes and went all around the lake. We also got a pedal boat and took a swim. Saw some young people doing a rope swing jump and did that too. Fabulous.

I took a day trip from Lyon, a great place, I'm sorry I only stayed one day, it's definitely worth 2-3 days! A place not to be missed if you're in the area!

It is a MUST to go, partying, water scakating, swimming and lots of boat cruises around the great lake surrounded by magnificent mountains. 30 min away and your up amongst snowy mountains as early as September.

Absolutely breathtaking! The lake is crystal clear and surrounded by stunning mountains. Perfect for swimming, cycling, and relaxing. Annecy is truly a gem — Can’t wait to return

We love Annecy, always a good spot to relax and enjoy the nature! Great views and lovely people!

The most amazing mountain views from the top and some small animals to see on the way down.

If you've ridden from St Michel de Maurienne you know. What can I say about this iconic cycle climb it's rock hard but boy the views are well worth the pain.

Breathtaking landscape and view! We drove up the Col du Galibier, which was kinda scary at some point bc the street is incredibly narrow. As we drove up the mountain you would see many bikers struggling to get up this mountain, they of course made it! We stopped the care midway and hiked the remainder of the mountain. As we got on top we probably took about 30 min to take in this view. It was an incredible journey and totally worth it!!

Ride up here with your bicycle! Stunning views on the top as a reward. Additionally, a spectacular descent on mostly very good roads.

As a cyclist this is one of the highlights of my trip to France. It's a bloody hard climb, but so rewarding at the top for the views. I rode it in October, at the top it said 1c of my Wahoo so it made the descent quite cold.

Top of a Tour De France climb. Well worth the effort to get there. Views are spectacular and the descent is awesome. Give it a go.

Southern part of the French Alps (Graic Alps). Dream Pass for a biking challenge. 43 kilometers, over 2,000 meters of altitude difference and 2,642 at the highest point. Snow stays there all year round, the air is crisp that you want to climb up and you need only good weather to admire the three thousand meters around (Grand Galibier, Pic des Trois Eveches, Arves massif). The mountain pass is the highest point of the Tour de France .

Nice ride up to just above the Bionnasay Glacier. The website sucks bigtime but don't let that withhold you from a beautiful day in the mountainbike.

Great experience. We took a beautiful walk after the train ride. Magical landscapes

2023 Sept. Lovely view of the Bionassay glaciers on our tram ride.

Nice mountain and train but the staff insisted on all non climbers into one carriage so that we had to stand even though the other carriage had loads of space. They actually stopped us getting on the carriage with plenty of space

Worth the trip!! Great hiking at the upper stations.

Took this trip to explore more of the Mont Blanc range and wasn't disappointed. Incredible journey up the side of the mountains, sharing the trip with mountaineers who were off to the summit. Good choice of walks from the top - clothing for cooler weather & good footwear essential.

Beautiful views along the road

This is probably a very nice thermal bath, and one of the few in France with an informal, family feel. Kids only allowed in the mornings. But I have to give it minimum score because the website says that there is availability, all hourly slots, but then when you actually try to add a reservation to the shopping card it fails. When we went there it was closed for non-reserved guests. So the evening before I expected to be able to come at any time. It said 10:00, 11:00, 12:00 etc (earlier in the week I only saw a few slots later that day). In the morning at 8:30 I expected to be able to come at 10. When I actually went to book at 9:00 I couldn't. When I showed up at 10 there was a big sign saying that nobody is allowed in without a reservation. So no bathing. They need to get their reservation system sorted to avoid people planning their day and then getting bumped.

No admission with anything but speedos, and this policy not visible on the website while making the booking and paying for it. Only possible to buy the swimwear on location and refund of reservation not possible. At least the overpacked human soup outside looks nasty enough!

We came to this place for the bains, we have been refused access as our swimsuits were beach shorts. I bought it as a swimsuit and I have never been neglected access for this reason. I asked for an explanation, they told me it is the policy. (I tried to understand the policy from the Internet, I think it does Not make any sense).

ATTENTION to all foreign tourists (especially those who are not from the EU)! They stole money without actually providing the service! We came to this spa specifically from another city. We paid for entry, but they did not let us inside the spa. The staff did not like my husband's swimming shorts. We got dressed and left after 10 minutes. Then we demanded a refund at the reception for the service that was not provided. 4 different managers spoke to us in turn and under various pretexts simply ran away from resolving the issue of returning the money, while deliberately switching to French to lead the dialogue to a dead end. There was no information on the official website about clothing restrictions. It is surprising that in 2025 such non-customer-oriented places exist. Disgusting, worse than ever. The day was ruined. We do not recommend it to anyone!

Basic facilities, below average service and rather old building. There is a huge scam allowing only lycra swimsuits and nothing else! No lycra swimsuit, you will have to pay another 20 euros to buy one and get in.... Ridiculous policy as an excuse to make extra money.

Lovely baths! Not particularly luxurious, but very relaxing and pretty good value (€23 for 2 hours or €32 for 3 hours)

Great place to relax and enjoy the mountain view, you have a choice of several swimming pools + steam, sauna, super hot, medium and super cold bathtubs, the best is the jacuzzi with open view to the snowy mountains (if you come during winter). The changing rooms & showers are pretty basic.

The best ski school and instructors, I arrived as a really nervous absolute beginner and Milan taught me the essentials along with building my confidence. He adapted the lessons as I was progressing and was extremely patient. I can’t rate highly enough. I even booked more lessons throughout the week and I enjoyed them so much. Thanks Milan.

We were lucky to have Elian Leonhart as our guide on the EGSW hosted groups . He was very flexible, helpful and attentive to all the skiers needs and requests and the best guide I have had in over 10 years. Merci bien .

Very grateful for the service by max and Jeremy. Bought a pair of boots here, was thoroughly impressed by the level of detail that was put into getting a pair that I felt were the right fit for me. After a few days of skiing I had to get the boots readjusted and everything was perfect. They helped me massively with tips to get the boots on properly and how to solve the problems I faced. Thank you very much - they were amazing.

Highly recommend using Prosneige for lessons. We had 6 snowboarding lessons with Charly and absolutely loved them! He provided really clear instructions, tips and demos for beginners and made lessons fun and varied, too. He kept the motivation up when I was struggling which was really important for me! Great instructor

It's a great Team and amazing experience. In particular for the boot fitting guys. You're talking to experts. Follow their lead as they take you through how it should feel and what to expect between comfort and performance. I love my boots . Best skiing ever following this. Thanks again!

We had the best ski 🎿 instructor this week!! Mathaiu (Matt) made learning so much fun! Improved our technique. Mixed it up with some off piste and improved our confidence on the steeper slopes. Thanks Matt - great job!! See you next year 👍 Charlie & Lisa

Was disappointed with the ski club for my 3 y/o son. I can't complain for the quality of ski lessons. It was more or less ok. But we signed him in for the whole week - full 6 days. They skied 2 hours in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Rest of the time they mostly spent in this tiny room with one set of lego and couple of other toys. Toilet - adult size only. It's fine for couple of hours ski lesson, but not for the whole week. At the end of the ski course, everyone was suppose to get a medal. I was passing ESF at the time of the medal ceremony - the photographer, medals and ski book for each child. When I came to pick up my son, I expected the same. Most of the people were gone, we had to ask for the medal (which is a big deal for my LO) and the ski book. Disappointing experience. Will choose club Piou Piou next time again.

Amazing ski destination – whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here! From easy, chill slopes to wild, uneven runs. The views of the surrounding mountains are absolutely stunning, and the snow conditions are excellent. I did miss having more trees around, as the landscape is very open and a bit desolate – though some people might actually prefer that. If you’re into partying, the town has some great spots – especially if you’re Danish! Just head to Café Snesko – you’re going to love it.

A very good ski resort. From beginners to advanced skiers, you can find good trails that will suit you. Also a very nice apres ski. Lots of hotels offers ski-in ski-out. Val thorens offers ski options when other ski resorts are already closed for the season.

Val Thorens has a great vibe, there are lots of amazing hotels and bars/restaurants. Shopping is easy with lots of convenience stores and also lots of specialist winter sports stores for all your skiing and snowboarding needs; though be prepared to pay a small (5-10% in my experience) resort premium on purchases here versus high street prices. Internet shopping is clearly the best option before arriving to make sure you get the best prices on equipment. Aside from the great bars and eateries, Val Thorens also has one or two slopes that you can ski and board on. Being a part of 3 Valleys it's a part of the largest ski resort in the world with hundreds of kilometers of groomed slopes. I love the ease of navigating around the resort using the many many lifts. There are runs for all levels, though if you're a complete beginner you may lack variety as there are relatively few green runs compared to other resorts. That being said, there are plenty of blues that are very manageable for beginners. Being at altitude I've found the snow quality and quantity to be better than other resorts in the area, including the 3 Valleys resorts of Courchevel and Meribel. Being lower they can often suffer with either slushy or icy conditions much more so that Val Thorens seems to. Final observation is that Val Thorens is an all ages resort. It doesn't matter if you're a family, young, old, or anywhere in between, Val Thorens has something for everyone, and all coexist peacefully.

The Perfect Destination for Skiing and Relaxation I recently visited this mountain, and I can confidently say it’s a paradise for ski and nature lovers! The area boasts an impressive number of ski slopes, suitable for all levels – from beginners to advanced skiers. The slopes are wide, well-maintained, and offer a safe skiing experience, making every moment on the mountain truly enjoyable. They are impeccably groomed daily, and the snow quality is excellent, no matter the weather. Beyond the slopes, the resort features cozy relaxation areas. The comfortable cabins, cafés with breathtaking views, and heated terraces provide the perfect spot to unwind between ski sessions. Whether you’re passionate about winter sports or just looking for a peaceful retreat in nature, this destination offers the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. I highly recommend it!

Val Thorens – Where the mountains are majestic and the buildings… aren’t Let’s be honest: Val Thorens is like dating someone with a stunning personality and a questionable wardrobe. The mountains? Absolutely breathtaking. Snow-draped peaks, endless ski runs, and views that make you forget your Wi-Fi password. Nature here is working overtime. And then… there’s the village. The buildings? Imagine 1970s concrete met a ski resort brochure and said, “Let’s do brutalism, but make it beige.” It’s like someone tried to stack shoeboxes in a snowstorm and called it urban planning. Charming? Not exactly. Functional? Sure. Photogenic? Only if you crop aggressively. But hey – you’re not here for the architecture. You’re here to ski, après-ski, and maybe pretend you’re in a Bond film while sipping overpriced vin chaud. And for that, Val Thorens delivers. Just don’t look too hard at the hotel façade on your way down the slope.

Great skiing area. Really enjoyed it. Not pretty in the villages but well makes up for that with the slopes.

At 2350m, snow is not yet an issue. The station is geared towards skiing and cater mainly to an international clientele. British and Dutch mainly. It has the trappings of a small French town with fresh breads, some cafes for drinks and meals but remains a very touristic area. Perfect for skiing. Going to the piste is relatively easy.

The ski resort is very large and you can have fun regardless of your skiing level. There are also many hiking trails that allow for wonderful snowshoe hikes. The natural surroundings and views are fantastic.

Arguably one of the ugliest ski resorts in the French alps, however, this is in stark contrast to the excellent ski area, fast lifts and varied terrain. If you are an avid skier or snowboarder this is one of if not the best resort in the alps to visit.

This was my first time skiing in the Alps. I highly recommend this resort to all skiers ⛷️ and snowboarders. You will love the slopes, people, and food.

Great ski resort. The blue slopes are really nice, good lift access. Lots of restaurants but need more vegan options

Amazing ski resort! Several ski slopes and many possibilities for other activities. The bobsleigh descent is unforgettable.

Beautiful well designed apartments for skiers and walkers (depending on the season). Beautiful views of the mountains and lifts (depending on which side you're on I suppose). The apartments are compact but with 2 twin bedrooms, 2 bunks and a double sofa bed, with ease you could fit 8 people in ours. Galley style kitchen is best suited to one person cooking at a time so pre-plan to share the cooking duties if possible. Good extractor fan and each apartment is well appointed with plates and cutlery for 16 (2 meals a day) and a dishwasher as well as breakfast bowls and a host of utensils. We were only short a grater and a potato masher (apparently not French essentials). There a multiple lifts to various parts of the buildings as well as a lot of basement bootrooms/lockers to store your boots and skis and keep your apartment dry. The complex has a code entry to the pool, when you want access - daytime only (closes at 7) and no access on Saturday (change over day) with a new code each week. A 5 minute walk to the local Spar shop makes this a very convenient location with a Restaurant next door to the Spar as well as one opposite the entrance to Lagranges. The Ski and board hire shop is spitting distant from the complex check-in with convenient ski racks located around to stash your skis whilst you buy passes or snacks. The ski-pass system is very flexible at the resort with options for beginners being circa €35 a day, half day options, full resort passes, multi-resort passes and a pedestrian access pass to access the top of glacier via bubble lift for only €8! Superb. The resort is at 1800m so well above the snowline with easy access up to 3000m for fresher snow more often. Snowed again just as we left so if you're looking right now it's perfect for a last minute get away (9/01/23) enjoy! Back again for New Year 2024 - snowed every day so far and the trails are well groomed. Swimming Pool has been renovated as well as the wooden features across the resort.

Great ski resort especially if your using a motorhome parked right next to the main run back to La Plagne. Electric at the end of every row (which didnt trip once) and water is located at a hut at the entrance of site (short slippery walk). The while of thus network is mostly made up of about 70% blues 25% Reds and 5%blacks although many of the blues are more red like. Some great places to eat around the area but it is pricey.. €9-11 a pint !!! Food is around normally UK prices. The roads leading up the mountain to Villages was always mint ( the French know how todo it) the only time we had to put chains on was at the start of the aire as its not as well maintained as the main roads. I'd defo go back to this site and la plagne.

Great fun and best value for money I have experienced for a long time. Sure you should not be afraid of hights 😉. The via Ferrata was my personal challenge but manageable. Sometimes I felt a little extra leg length would have been helpful ( I am 1.63m) but the last leg was rewarding and much easier than the entrance. However the judgement of a ferrata can be quite personal. I would definitely do it again 😁. Nice and friendly staff.

An amazing experience. We went to Italy for 6 days just to walk the bridge and believe it was worthwhile .The staff were very friendly and helpful. And the bridge itself was very well looked after and felt safe. The views when you walk on the bridge are amazing. Not the sunniest day, but did not distract from the great views. The whole experience is fantastic. Fully recommend it.

This place is quite far away from anyplace and one might pay more for road and tunnel tolls than for the attraction itself but the experience is worth the trouble, just to tick it off the bucket list. Briançon town with its vauban made a good base to be able to reach here early in the day ( they open at 9 am) and Frejus tunnel had no delays at noon to go through after finishing up at the Ponte Tibetano. Coming after 10 am may resulting waiting for long queues of people to pass in front diminishing the view and the enjoyment. The promotional video on the website does not show the slopy loose gravel paths that one has to walk through to reach the bridges. Good hiking shoes recommended. There is a safety briefing at the beginning and one gets to practice how to clip and unclip the double harness to the metal ropes . Minimum height of 120 cm to go on the bridges but preferably over 140 cm to go on the via ferrata which looked indeed tough and we couldnt do as our child was only 130 cm. In any case not suited for anyone with fear of heights or those with balance issues. Clean toilets available near the ticket/reception counter for use at beginning or end of the walk. Large free parking. And the gorge is beautiful and relatively cool even in hot weather.

Great introduction to via ferratta! Very friendly and helpful lstaff we had a fantastic time.

Such a great experience!! At first it seems a bit scary because of the hight but you get used to it in time. The best part is the climbing of the wall. Had so much fun and bested my fear of hights.

un esperienza meravigliosa! impegnativo ma bellissimo è fattibile per molti grazie alle precauzioni e alle misure di sicurezza! Awsome experience! Challenging, but not too difficult. I think many people can do it, also because of the high safety precautions it is not dangerous at all... if you don't suffer heights.

Enjoyed the view while crossing the hanging bridge(s). Too bad we couldn't climb the walls as the weather was bad also going down was a little bit dangerous as the mountain is a little steep. All in all it was a nice experience!

Ski trip in mid february. Here a detailed review: Arrival: I stayed in Val Claret, the road up was clear and only on some parts covered with ice/snow. If there was recent snowfall, caution is advised. I liked that there is also a ski run going through the town of Val. Ski runs: Now the ski area Tignes-Val d'Isère is pretty big and you have lots of variation. About 75-80% of all runs are above the treeline. There are a lot of kids areas (in every town), lots beginner areas (around the Borsat chairlift and Solaise). For experts there are plenty of ski runs: the stade olympice/face de bellewarde (can be very icy), the foret, la Sache, Chicherit, Aiguille Percée. The Tunnel (near Leissieres) was sadly closed due to lack of snow) You have some pretty long ski runs as well: skiing all the way down from Grande Motte to Val Claret, from Aiguille Percée to Les Brevières, from Cugnai to Laisinant, from Borsat chairlift to Val d'Isère or Daille and from Col de l'Iseran to Fornet. My favorite runs were: blue Génépy & black Descente on Grande Motte, blue Grattalu, blue Anemone, black La Sache (upper section, the lower section was very icy), black La Foret and of course the famous offpiste run "Vallée Perdue". This last run is pretty adventurous and shouldnt be missed (you should be an advanced skier though). Snow Conditions: Due to the higher elevation it was very snow secure, though there were still some spots where the wind blow off the snow. The weather was blue sky and sun for 6 days, so ski runs sadly tend to become very icy, especially steeper runs under 2000m elevation. Lift infrastructure: The ski area is excellent interconnected, though compared to other european ski areas, you wont find any of those hyper modern bubble chair lifts. There are still some painfully slow and rough chair lifts, like Col des Ves, Grand Huit and Cema. Crowding: I learned to NEVER again come to the french alps on saturday mid february. The roads were full of traffic jams (Lyon-Albertville-Moutiers) and the drive took 3h longer than expected. Mostly british and dutch tourists. Tignes-Val d'Isère was the most crowded I've ever experienced in any ski area and I've been before in ski resorts in switzerland and austria at the same holiday period. There were lines up to 15min at some chairlifts. On the ski runs, especially the main runs down to the valley it was more like an obstacle course to avoid colliding with others. Then there were the ski schools, there were just too many of them. Even in the Vallée Perdue, I encountered a ski school. During lunch time it calmed a bit down and there was a window for a less crowded ski run. Staff: The staff at the lifts and desks were all very nice and helpful. When buying a ski pass via the Val d'Isère app, the machine wont get you your pass in Tignes, even though the ski area is connected, one of the guys easily helped me out and was really nice. The staff at the lifts were all cool except the guy at the bottom of Merles chairlift (at 3pm last tuesday), he was rudely yelling at me, stressing, even though there was no reason and there was no line of people behind. I signaled him to chill down and he became menacing. Pricing: The prices were in the middle to upper level. The ski pass for 5 days is around 355€. A little takeaway burger can be around 18€, a 1l beer is 21€ (!!). Its certainly not a place if you want to eat/drink on a budget. Scenery: The landscape is amazing, you can see Mont Blanc. Also check out the Aiguille Percée arch and the Vallee Perdue canyon (if you are a good skier). To even more enjoy the landscape you can even do a tandem ULM flight. I think though some people might prefer a bit more forested hills, if the weather would be foggy I bet its easily a whiteout in the ski area. *Verdict*: ++ variety of runs & area size + beginner & expert offer + nice offer of activities outside of skiing (ULM flight, Bungee ski jump, sledding etc.) - pricey ski area (especially concerning food drinks and hotels) -- can be severely crowded during school breaks

I Love Tignes, I Stay Here Twice For A Seasonal Work In Winter, I Was Taken Away On How Kind And Lovely The Local Was. I Was Taken Away On How Beautiful The Area Is And I Use To Love Walking Around The Le Lac After Work Before Season Started. Tignes Is A Very Picturesque Place And It A Photographer Dream Location. I Was Lucky Enough To Be Goving Opportunity To Come In October And Catch The Last End Of Autumn Which Was Beautiful. I Feel Tignes Will Alway Hold A Place In My Heart.

Amazing ski resort with great snow, diverse slopes for all levels, and stunning views. Well-organized with good lifts, rentals, and après-ski options. Highly recommend!

It’s a shame that ski passes are sold with the Carré Neige insurance, which turns out to be useless when you actually need it. There’s no point in offering a service that borders on a scam. The ski resort itself, as always, is excellent.

Wonderful place at an altitude of 2100 m. Lots of sports activities including summer skiing. Mentally I struggle a bit with the fact that every hotel wants parking for a not so small fee. But that's just France. ⛰️🇫🇷

Amazing place for a family holiday. We visited in April and it was lovely with a lot of snow 🌨️

A wonderful ski station with fantastic views and an enormous number of slopes for all levels. Also there are plenty of activities to do apart from skiing and a good infrastructure. Tignes application is very useful. I highly recommend Tignes as a ski resort !

Amazing experience when you arrive at the third waterfall... 1.30 to 2 hours of hiking if you stop at each waterfall to take a photo :) The parking was a paid parking lot with 5 euros per day price but the machine was not working so no one paid! The bar was closed too when we arrived at the parking. But it was a wonderful experience.

Relatively easy walk to get to the falls, culminating with a quite spectacular bridge that crosses the water. It's worth closing the path down with the ring path so as to avoid doing the same way twice

Worth the hike to the third waterfall. Stunning views. Lots of places to stop and rest if needed. Options for looping back down the other side. Loved it

This trail, that crosses Rutor falls is just wonderful. Really astonishing, impressive and clean nature plus the hike is very easy. It crosses 3 falls and there are plenty options to go such as all the way up to Rifugio Albert Deffeyes. On this route after the amazing falls you will find a beautiful green and moist valley. After that, it goes up another 346 meters and you can have a great view to Mont Blanc and many glaciers and lakes near by. It's a very special hike in Aosta Valley. Absolutely recommended if you search for something technically feasible and a rich, fascinating environment as well.

One of the best footpath that you can do in La Thuile area, starting from la Joux the road is not so difficult, you don't need to be an expert climber but bring with you some water and a raincoat. The water shows is simply amazing especially at the 3rd waterfall. Recommended 👍👍👍

Really amazing. The falls are impressive. The hiking need to be prepared because is not so easy for the length and for the gradient. I suggest to take some water with you because till to the refuge is not possible to found any fountain. Take time to climb till the Deffeys refuge will pay you about the fatigue and the high gradient.

Incredible place after a good climb !

An amazing 3 hour guided tour of the fortress but is only in Italian, however the guide spoke English and explained many things and answered questions we had. Was very interesting and the climb up wasn't very difficult with stops to speak about the buildings as we continued up. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area, thoroughly enjoyed our time here

Very impressive and magnificent but, unfortunately, access to different parts were highly restricted and many (like the famous covered 4000 steps) required a guided tour (rather expensive, only in Italian and only a few times a day). We ended up mostly walking the courtyard, access to one floor museum and church and the first 80 steps - for this we had to pay €6.

To be honest, so far this has been one of my favourite places of all time, a walk of 3 hours was really worth it. From all the places in Italy, I might say that this is 10/10, the service was amazing and the people were really nice! Not just that, but the walk was guided by one of the nicest staff ever, even if it was kinda hard to get on the top, it was worth it and very cheap! For all the people that love exploring new places, with the best staff, and amazing guide, this is the perfect place for you!

The guided tour is amazing. You'll learn a lot of historical facts about the fortress. Take note it's not a fort it's a fortress

I would highly recommend this. It was absolutely beautiful and the tour was incredible. The guide is so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history of the fortress. This was a highlight of my trip and I am so glad I found it.

I've done the 3h tour today and it was magnificent. The natural landscape is just breathtaking, I can't believe this place is so little advertised. I also don't have enough words to praise our tour guide,Gian. He's so knowledgeable, calm and you can see he loves what he does by the way he passionately talks about this fortification. I recommend it 100%.

Need of book thé visit 3or7h by phone other wize it's just a small 30min visit which would be possible. Weather affect feasibility. The 7h visit is not a walk, but a long cultural tour... Including 3real hours of walk, and a lot of ...cultural talk. Bit long at the end. Should do différent group for long talk, Middle Walker, and talk,good Walker. They are probably toi few volunteer, but if you do not like extralong talk ...i would rather advise to avoid the Historian one (jean). It was far too long for me, spoiling motivation to visit this nice forteress (more time speaking than walking, for real). I'm usualy a Big fan of historical talknthat are missions, but hère it was a spoil as thé site is clearly Amazing5*, thé way some share passion make it 8h instead of 4

just wow ! breathtaking panoramic views.

Beautiful park with well maintained trails. We visited this park to climb the Gran Paradiso. Trails to Rifugio Chabod were easy to follow and well maintained. Parking was accessible and safe. We left our car there a few days.

Its a national park that has villages around it, so lots of places to stay. We stayed in a very rustic village called Ozein in the northern part, and Locana in the south. The trails are very challenging, and mostly not circular. We are a retired couple, so we always did half a trail and enjoyed ourselves. The only place with official information and staff to help you is near the town of Cognes next to an Alpine botanical garden, don't miss it. It was sad to see many abandoned hamlets due to depopulation. Look for the Chamois and martens they are reall cute. Driving on the narrow roads id challenging, so be careful.

What ordinary people could write about the one of the most beautiful parts of the one of the most beautiful countries in the world? Enjoy in the endless natural attractions, peaceful landscape, plants animals and friendly people...

Great relaxing in nature with a small town

Beautiful landscape, advised for spending some time in the nature. Stunning view of the Gran Paradiso peak surrounded by other mountains and a few turquoise lakes. The best natural park you'll find in northern Italy with plenty of hiking trails leading to the summits to fully enjoy your tour, gifting an incredible view of the valley underneath.

This place is a must go in Piemonte

Very beautiful waterfall in a magical Alpine scenery. The entire Gran Paradiso National Park is amazing, and so is this piece. Even in September the waterfall was incredible, with a huge flow of water. We hiked for an hour to the Biolet Waterfall, not an easy route because of a steep climb but we managed. Plenty of parking at the beginning. Overall, very recommended.

Nice short hike. From the parking lot, take the left side trail that climbe up the hill to the last waterfall. From there, cross the bridge and go down to see the other waterfalls 9n your way back to the car.

Great and accessible waterfall in an amazing setting! The bar on top is outstanding

Great hike. Did the large loop to lake Loie, difficult climb so make sure you are fit enough to do this. The lake itself was cute, but the real deal is the views. Saw a marmot on some rocks on the side of the trail. Near the end of the hike appears a huge field with plenty of flowers (even in September!)

✨ The Lillaz Waterfalls are absolutely stunning and worth the visit if you are in the Cogne Valley. The walk to the falls is short, easy, and accessible, making it perfect for families, but you can also continue on longer trails if you enjoy hiking. The sound of the rushing water combined with the fresh mountain air creates a truly relaxing atmosphere. The waterfalls are divided into several tiers, so you can admire them from different viewpoints. In summer, the water sparkles beautifully under the sun, while in winter the frozen cascades are breathtaking. There are picnic areas nearby and the small village of Lillaz offers a few restaurants and cafés where you can stop after your walk. Parking is usually easy, though it can get crowded in high season. Overall, a peaceful and refreshing experience in nature—ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the Aosta Valley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice easy trek to see waterfalls. You can park at Lillaz if you want half an hour walk or start the trek in Cogne, walk to Lillaz and then continue to waterfalls

Must see, really easy hike @nrcsint Instagram

great place to spend half a day outdoors with your family. the zoo is cared for down to the smallest details, clean and equipped with all the comforts that families need: bars, restaurants, toilets, many bins for recycling in different parts of the park. the animals are well cared for and happy. it is truly a pleasure to visit a place like this. I recommend buying tickets online so as not to waste time at the ticket office. there are two convenient and spacious car parks. disabled people enter for free and every place is accessible by wheelchair/stroller. great experience! you can participate in the bird show by booking online!

The night safari ticket is well worth the 16 euros as you can visit the park as many times as you want

Zoom is a lovely Zoo and Water Park near Torino. It's a great place to see a variety of animals and enjoy a day at their artificial pools. It is highly recommended to plan things out. You can access the park from Torino via teain to Piscina (please note they are operating Bus Rail Replacement services). While Google Maps says it's a 19 minute walk from the Train Station. There are no sidewalks on part of the trip so it's best to reserve a shuttle which for €5 RT will take you to / from the park. This can be booked online and paid in cash to the driver. Book tickets in advance, you can reserve spots at the beach and have a pair of sun loungers and an umbrella for about €27. Ticket prices are reasonable but check online as discounts are available. The pool itself is extra so look for deals. Several food options and expect about €15-20 for lunch on the low-end. (The fried seafood platter was a miss). Lots of places to buy waters at €1.50 each, no real free water fountains like you find all over Italy. Animals seemed to be treated ok, it's a zoo and of course some people have strong opinions about that.

Awesome place! It’s easy to access when you buy the ticket online. Getting there can be a little tricky if you’re using the train, but it’s worth it. The animals are well-organized, placed together to create a good system, and navigating the zoo is easy if you follow the path. The staff are very helpful and all speak English. The seating areas between the animal enclosures, especially the one near the tiger exhibit, are great. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, totally worth it and affordable.

Fantastic place. Very nice and friendly staff! We stay 2 nights with my 2 daughter they loved it. Amazing place to have a fresh and lots of knowledge about animals. The zoo it’s adorable 🥰

It was a very great day in the zoo they were a lot of animals the staff were very friendly my favourite part was the petting area we petd some goats and donkeys

Superb zoo! Extremely well organised and thought through. Animals looked well looked after and enclosures were built in a way to feel natural and were well maintained. Plenty of toilets and eat/drink options and lots of staff looking after every aspect. Two excellent play areas to occupy a 5 year old. Whole site is not huge and could go around it in half a day if you wanted but it's also ok to spread things out and take breaks. Plenty of extras with talks and shows if you can organise yourself to fit around the schedule. We stayed over night at the "Glamping" site which was also excellent. Very nice room and then that allows you to take breakfast in the terrace restaurant sitting in-between the lions on one side and giraffes and savanna animals on the other side which was a very cool experience. The only negative is that there was a disgusting and overpowering smell i think coming from the toilet/sewage system in the area of our accommodation which was strong enough to make me feel sick and detracted from the enjoyment of the evening as it was impossible to sit on the terrace of our room

It is a very attractive castle, mix of structures from different times which could still be observed by the split on the wall and the thickness of different wall. Very impressive on the semi fresh paint on 600th hall that rarely seen in the wall. The restrictions undergoing demonstrate how the architectors had thought to use painting in marble effect instead of using real marble, because the lower part where there was kitchen had the colonum too week to hold heavy marble.... Worth to take a visit the garden and the church next to it too.

A hidden gem in Piemonte. The castle Castello della Manta is a wonderful little castle near Cuneo (about half an hour drive). The castle is a beautiful building atop a hill over the small comune of Manta next to the city of Salluzo. The eldest parts date back to the 13th century, but various inhabitants have added spaces. It has a cute court yard, an impressive kitchen, a spacious gallery and salon, a nice library… The most impressive room is the grand hall with an incredible sequence of medieval fresco’s depicting nine worthy kings and nine worthy women leaders, together with a fountain of youth setting, an astounding gem in non-religious early 15th century art, in very good condition. This wall art by itself already makes the trip worth the effort for anyone appreciating medieval art and culture. The castle has a small church with impressive frescoes as well. The castle stands within a beautiful garden. You can ride up and park very near the entrance, or park further down and walk up. The staff is very friendly and you can buy drinks to. There is a small gift shop. I recommend this for anyone who is near Cuneo and looking for an interesting, cultural outing. Best to make a reservation.

Amazing and unexpected castle, with perfectly preserved frescos

Well kept, with a free audio guide. A nice example of the castles in the region. Residence of the Marqueses of Saluzzo, pre dating the Savoia.

There is a very good reason that this castle is so highly regarded for its frescoes. They are stunning!

We walked from Saluzzo to San Cristina, and the Castello proved a worthwhile detour. It’s one of several grand old houses in this part of Piedmont, and probably my favourite among the ones we visited. The frescos were particularly fascinating, and well preserved.

This castle definitely worth a visit,the tour is not that long,they have audio guide, ( you'll go on your own ) , the castle has a small garden at the front, wonderful frescoes still intact, they were restoring some areas when we visited the place.

Museum was good, the tour was dreadful value for money. €39 per adult for a 50 minute tour. Didn’t get to see the view from the top of the stadium, didn’t get to see the dugouts, the away team changing rooms, and the home team changing rooms had only half the shirts hanging up. We did the Liverpool tour a month ago, that was twice as long, you could spend as long as you wanted in every area, and was half the price. Overall, really disappointed.

Great, great experience. The stadium is incredible. Watching Juventus at its stadium was unforgettable experience If you are fan of the team you can take a ticket for a visiting it together with the museum and to see the conference room, locker room and everything that is connected with the team.

Nice stadium, it was truly a dream come true to visit as I am a supporter of this club. The atmosphere is incredible, the design is modern and impressive, and you can really feel the passion of football everywhere. The museum is also worth visiting, although it is somehow small and could definitely be bigger for a club as legendary as Juventus. Still, it’s an unforgettable experience for any fan.

My childhood dream came true!!! Watching my team live and defeating inter Milan was amazing!!!! Great view and great fans! Food and beverages are also fantastic! FINO ALLA FINE, FORZA JUVENTUS! 🖤🤍

Beautiful stadium, however finding your gate can be a challenge. Go early. The stadium is accessible by train aor bus. There are also a few food stalls outside the stadium.

Title: A Must-Visit for Any Football Fan – Especially Juventus Supporters Allianz Stadium is truly a world-class venue and an absolute must-see, especially if you’re a Juventus fan. The stadium is modern, well-designed, and offers a fantastic view of the pitch from every seat. Visiting the home of such a historic and iconic club is an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere, the club museum, and the deep connection to the culture of the world game make it a top destination for football lovers. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Turin – whether you’re a lifelong supporter or just appreciate the beauty of the sport.

Our visit to Allianz Stadium was a true highlight of our trip to Turin! We were thrilled to watch a match between the Juventus main team and their Next Gen team, a tip we got from our hotel receptionist, Andrea. As my daughter is a huge Juventus fan, it was a dream come true for her. We were surprised to find that tickets were only 10 euros, a bargain compared to the 40-euro stadium tour tickets we were considering. For that price, we not only got to enter the stadium but also got to watch an exciting match. As someone who has been to many stadiums around the world, I must say this is one of the best. It's incredibly modern, clean, and well-organized. The seats are some of the most comfortable I've ever sat in—very smooth and comfy. We were lucky to have seats right above the VIP lounge, so we got to see all the players and even some celebrities like Chiellini and the Italian women's national team. The field was also in perfect condition, with freshly cut, beautiful grass. The atmosphere was amazing, filled with passionate fans and great energy. It was an unforgettable experience, and we hope to come back to watch another match someday.

One of the most beautiful piazza in Torino , many restaurants are located there , so close to shops in Via Roma and close few minutes walking distance Porta nouva station!

The church at Piazza San Carlo is beautiful and peaceful. It’s not very big, but the architecture and details inside are really impressive. It’s a nice place to stop by if you’re walking around the city. It feels calm and quiet inside, a nice break from the busy streets of Milan. Definitely worth a quick visit if you enjoy historic buildings and quiet spots.

Piazza San Carlo is truly a gem in the heart of Turin. The moment we saw it by night, it was breathtaking—the whole square was aglow with lights, highlighting the grand statue and the beautiful Baroque buildings that line the piazza. It's the kind of place where you just want to sit down and soak up the atmosphere. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy a coffee, an aperitivo, or simply to watch the world go by. This piazza feels like the city's elegant living room. We highly recommend visiting, especially in the evening, to experience its unique beauty and charm.

Piazza San Carlo, often referred to as the "Salotto di Torino," is a stunning square that epitomizes Turin's elegance and charm. Surrounded by impressive baroque architecture, including the iconic churches of Santa Cristina and San Carlo Borromeo, the piazza serves as a lively gathering place for both locals and tourists. Its spacious layout features beautiful cobblestone pathways, stylish cafes, and vibrant outdoor seating, making it an ideal spot for people-watching or enjoying a leisurely coffee. With its rich history and picturesque ambiance, Piazza San Carlo is a must-visit landmark that captures the essence of Turin.

Piazza San Carlo is a truly beautiful and elegant square — one of Turin’s most iconic places. Surrounded by historic arcaded buildings, it’s full of life yet never feels rushed. There are many cafés and restaurants where you can sit, relax, and enjoy a cappuccino or aperitivo while watching the world go by. The square is immaculately maintained and feels both grand and welcoming — a perfect spot to experience the spirit of Turin.

It is a lovely Piazza, but not that many attractions are closed on Monday, including some churches.

Lovely piazza , Architecture is amazing, cafes around it where you can sit and take in the Itslian beauty especially on a Sunny day .. Lots of shopping around it, High end brands and normal ones

Great big museum in the heart of Torino... Very close to the Porta Nuova station.... Entrance for one person is 18 euro, but it's worth every peny... I travel a lot and see so many museums but this is one of the best... This place is one three flors and basement... You have elevators between every floor... So so many unique sculptures and things, mummies, from little to some very big... Everything have good explanation on Italian and English... In basement at the and of tour you can see all history of museum from start.... People who work there is so kind and helpful and talkative... They also have toilet on every floor and at exit you can buy some souvenirs... All recommendations for visit and enjoy if you are in Torino

I visited this museum about 10 years ago and the experience back then felt on another level. The storytelling, especially in the Gods Library, and the way the rooms connected made the visit much more fluid and comfortable. This time, unfortunately, the huge number of visitors made it almost impossible to enjoy some sections. Even with pre-booked tickets, it was extremely crowded and in some areas difficult to walk or stop to see the exhibits properly. What I did appreciate, however, were the new virtual experiences in some rooms, which clearly and engagingly explained the historical context and processes.

I’m sure they’re trying hard to make this the standout Egyptian museum and have spent a lot of money on it. There are some fantastic things exhibited here but….its overcrowded and it’s strangely boring and repetitive. There are too many exhibits to take in. They should have cut back on the exhibits and instead told the history of Egypt far better. The museum is all over the place in terms of its narrative. It’s thematic but really needs to be chronological and help piece together what we’re viewing. It was a real shame because I just wanted to leave after half an hour of being bored and learning surprisingly little about an interesting subject.

A very cool experience in the middle of Turin. It is the second largest collection of Egypt antiquities outside of Cairo. We had a guided tour which I would highly recommend. A very cool experience!

Very comprehensive museum on Egypt. I think I managed to go through all of it. Felt like I got a complete rundown on the entire corpus of Egyptian history. The app guide is glitchy. I downloaded some modules but sometimes it reloads if you don’t keep the phone open, and then it says you’re offline and won’t load the module anymore. So maybe the old school audio guide you can get at reception is a better option. However, the displays do a good job anyway and you can still get enough of a gist of it just with the displays. To do the entire museum, reading everything and listening to the audio guides, would take the best part of a whole day. But there’s an in house cafe at a convenient midpoint.

Really amazing Egypt Museum! So many artifacts and displays! Lots of interactive opportunities to learn and grow your knowledge! Huge building filled to the brim! Absolutely amazing!

I didn't expect there to be so many things from Egypt. There is so much to see and learn about where things come from and their history. An amazing place. I fell in love with it. I would have liked to stay longer, but I chose the hour. But the important thing is that I managed to learn most of it.

Amazing museum filled with cinema history. We went during the James Cameron exhibition. The interactive parts were great and the props were very interesting to go through and learn about their movies. The only down side is that the dedication exhibition that changes could be smaller so that the main part had more cinema history related stuff. In addition to these the elevator is a must. The view of torino is amazing and one you don't want to miss. I also recommend getting tickets in advance since it can get crowded(having tickets for both the exhibition and the elevator can reduce the wait time drastically).

What an experience!! Even if you don’t like cinema, the way the Musuem is designed, it captures your attention. There is the technical historical part and there is the movies parts as well as the sets and pieces that you can see. Interactive and amazing experience. A must do in Turin

Great museum in the heart of Torino...One of the must see thing in this city... Second name museum of cinema... I think it's the tallest museum in the world... 167,5m...Around this building it's very crowded... So much people and markets with souvenirs... You can take nice pictures from the bottom or you can buy lift ticket and go up to see panorama of Torino... If you want you can go up by foot if you are in good condition... I recommend you to buy ticket for elevator and tour in advance... View from the top is amazing, all city and Alps... Inside you have to see nice museum... People who work there is so kind and helpful... All recommendations for visit and take some nice pictures and videos if you are in Torino...

The history part was interesting, and the layout inside was unique. The modern cinema section (the main part) now seems a bit anachronistic, as it focuses on a fairly narrow era of cinema. The part where cinema technology moves into gaming felt the most contemporary but it was not much. Note that when I bought the ticket online, there was only the option to buy a combined museum + panoramic lift ticket. Yet when I tried to get on the lift I was told my ticket was only for the museum. There wasn’t even a way to buy the tickets separately on the website so I’m not sure how I could have done it wrong. Anyway, I decided to skip the lift rather than buy another ticket. So I’m not sure if you should buy a ticket in advance, actually.

Like the view from the observation deck. Recommended during the sunset. Apparently you cannot visit without a ticket bought, and for this you may have issue in the website, so we just scan qr code near the entrance and book the time.

The iconic Mole dominates Turin's skyline. You car ride to the top for amazing views. Combine this with a ticket for the excellent Museum of Cinema (housed in the main building) for the best value.

Loved it. Great way to explore cinema and film making. My 7yo and 9yo had plenty to see and do here. As a cinephile I found it a brilliant collection that is well constructed and curated.

Very interesting guided visit. We just showed up 9:30 am on Sunday and luckily the tour started at 10 am so we were able to visit the castle. Like almost all the places in Italy there are no instructions at the entrance, so when you get at the counter and seem a little lost and have inquiries, they immediately asked us to move aside to pass people that had reserved online!! I was fuming and wanted to leave. I believe that the lady behind the counter realized what she had done and came to get us and passed us in front of the line. It’s probably annoying having tourists that show without knowing ahead of time what to expect all the time, but when traveling from far to see something it is also annoying to be rushed and quickly dismissed because. Please put instructions on the outside so we can look at your packages before we get at the counter. ( would of gave a 5 star if it wasn’t for that) The tour guide was really nice, and explained, was interesting to listen to!

The tour to this place is extremely interesting. Our guide was very knowledgeable and fun to interact with, and it is definitely a good stop to fill your time. The castle is not in the best state of preservation (hence the 4 stars), but the enthusiastic guides make up for this.

Big castle with a wide park. Very nice to visit. Kind guide that leads you inside the buiding with storytelling.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, maybe as much as the Royal palace in Turin, beautiful, furniture, chandeliers, statues, curtains. We'll have to return to see the gardens which were closed for renovation.

Amazing Castle to visit, our guide Rosanna was amazing, she explained really well every room in the Castle. Gardens are beautiful and magical. it’s better to call and book the time for the visit. loved it!

The castle is very beautiful and impressive. During our visit it was closed to visitors and only the small garden next to it was open. We Received a disgusting and condescending attitude from the salesman who refused to understand that we are tourists who do not speak Italian. He didn't agree to explain anything and barely agreed to sell tickets that were expensive for just a tour of the garden. If the castle is not open, you can content yourself with looking from the outside.

Just passing here for awhile coz the castle is busy for other event but outside this area is quite good and nice 👌 I hope I could see inside the castle but looks good 👍

Woooooow sooooo amazing this castle because you can see the old paintings the real kitchen how big their place for cooking and the garden soooooo big it's 170 hectares omg 😲

A Historic castle that represents many historical item from different cultures and countries, as a Turk it was amazing to see Turkic items from Ottoman Empire and the diplomacy between Casa Savoia and Turks.

This castle was one of the most interesting places I have visited around Turin. I truly recommend it, although I didn’t pay, because it has free entry every first Sunday of every month. But it’s totally worth visiting.

Magnificent exterior and beautiful interior rooms with different themes. Multiple chambers with different Chinese art, galleries with portraits and other diverse paintings, a billiard room, an authentic bathroom and huge kitchen in the basement. Room descriptions are only available in Italian though.

One of the best castle around Turin, 45mins drive from Turin. Totally worth it. The best parts are the Chinese apartments, one of the most elaborate in Europe, and you still see the trace of modernity in the Castello like lift and commercial refrigerator.

Beautiful palace but it should be restored very soon...A lot damaged ceilings by water and most of the tapestries and silk covered furniture is damaged, too.

Full of original historical things: paintings, furniture, architecture, facilities and much more.
