Valle Argentera is so wild. There's only one dirt road alongside a crystal clear river that passes through the valley which divides into 2 smaller valleys at the 10th mile, the Long Valley and the Valley of the Great Miola which end at the foot of the Grand Queryon. (begins on country road SP 215 between Sestriere and Sauze di Cesana)
Smugglers used to smuggle salt between Italy and France and left behind numerous ruins of fortifications along this territory. The highest mountain in the valley is the Col Ramière - 3,007 m - which links to the the Val Thuras (Cesana Torinese). Waterfalls and sprawling green pastures and trails for summer hikers offer scenarios of untouched beauty. In the winter, waterfalls of ice and snow covered peaks are a haven for those wishing to make excursions of off-piste skiing and winter sports.
