A structure that surprises with its bold form, perfectly integrated into the natural surroundings.

Useful tips
- Muoviti partendo da Torino in mattinata: Sauze d'Oulx dista circa 80 km dal cuore cittadino centro urbano e si raggiunge comodamente con automezzo percorrendo l'autostrada A32 Torino-Bardonecchia.
- Indossa scarpe da trekking con suola robusta e tieni presente di portare un abbigliamento a strati: oltre i 2000 metri la temperatura può scendere anche in mesi estivi, specialmente qualora vi sia vento o nuvole.
- Se vuoi abbinare cultura e montagna, considera di visitare il Museo Nazionale della Montagna di Torino prima o dopo l'escursione: espone materiali dedicati proprio all'architettura alpina e alla storia delle Alpi piemontesi.
