The "From Fenestrelle to Laux – Parco Naturale della Val Troncea" trail offers an easy hiking experience through the Val Chisone. You will cover 3.8 miles (6.0 km) with an elevation gain of 800 feet (244 metres), taking about 1 hour and 56 minutes. Starting from Fenestrelle, the path winds through meadows before entering a shaded forest with regular inclines. Along the way, you will find a "balcony path" providing views of the valley, often with the impressive Fenestrelle Fort visible. The route then passes through an alpine pasture before reaching the charming village of Laux and its serene, emerald-green lake. The path also follows a section of the Chisone stream, adding to the natural beauty.
This easy trail is suitable for all fitness levels, making it a great option for families. The paths are generally wide, safe, and shaded, providing a comfortable journey. You can start your hike from the historic town of Fenestrelle. The trail leads directly to the picturesque village of Laux, offering a clear destination. While the research doesn't specify parking or public transport details, the trail's accessibility suggests a straightforward start.
This route is situated within the Parco Naturale della Val Troncea, an area known for its alpine valleys and diverse flora. You will see traditional stone houses and distinctive murals in Laux, and the small Lago di Laux provides a tranquil spot for a rest. The trail also offers views of the Fenestrelle Fort, a significant historical fortification often called the "Piedmontese Great Wall." One section of the trail even leads to the "Sentiero dei pensieri" (Path of Thoughts) near Usseaux, adding a reflective dimension to your hike.
