About the destination

Welcome to Fenestrelle, a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque valleys of the Piedmont region in Italy. Renowned for its majestic fortress and breathtaking natural scenery, this charming destination offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and outdoor adventure for travelers seeking an authentic Italian experience. Begin your journey at the imposing Forte di Fenestrelle, the largest alpine fortress in Europe. Sprawling across the landscape, this remarkable feat of military architecture spans over three kilometers and climbs up the mountainside. Built in the 18th century to defend the region from French invasion, the fortress is a marvel of engineering and military strategy. Join a guided tour to explore its intricate network of fortifications, barracks, and winding staircases—a journey that encompasses an astonishing 4,000 steps! As you ascend, be rewarded with panoramic views of the lush valleys and snow-capped peaks that define this area of the Italian Alps. After delving into the fortress's storied past, immerse yourself in the serenity of Fenestrelle's natural surroundings. The region is a haven for hikers, with trails that cater to all levels of experience. Take a leisurely walk along the verdant paths crisscrossing the valley floor, or challenge yourself with a trek to one of the nearby peaks, such as Monte Orsiera. In every season, the landscape offers a new palette of colors and sensations, from the wildflowers of spring to the golden hues of autumn foliage. No trip to Fenestrelle would be complete without experiencing the local cuisine. The town and its environs are dotted with cozy trattorias where you can savor traditional dishes such as "polenta concia," a hearty cornmeal dish often served with cheese and cured meats. Pair your meal with a glass of robust Piedmontese wine, and don’t forget to indulge in a slice of "torta di nocciole," a hazelnut cake that is a specialty of the region. Fenestrelle is a destination that truly encapsulates the spirit of Piedmont—a place where history stands proudly against a backdrop of natural splendor, and where every meal is an opportunity to celebrate the rich flavors of Italian cuisine. Whether you're a history buff, an outdoor enthusiast, or simply looking to unwind in a tranquil setting, Fenestrelle promises an unforgettable escape into the heart of the Italian Alps.
