Ah, the Italian Alps! With their majestic peaks, fragrant pine forests, and sun-drenched valleys, they are a dream for slow tourism enthusiasts. Today, allow me to guide you on a journey through time, a journey beyond the hustle and bustle of typical tourist destinations, and into the heart of Italy’s most charming Alpine villages, to enjoy beauty, tranquillity, nature, and blissful peace. 

Usseaux, Piemonte

Nestled in the Chisone Valley, Usseaux, if you ask me, is a page right out of a fairy tale. This idyllic hamlet, known as one of the most beautiful in Italy (it is among the Borghi più Belli d’Italia) holds steadfast to its history with its stone houses adorned with traditional frescoes, whispering tales of a past long gone.
