A true gem in the ski resort, Sansicario is a mountain hamlet which developed over time from a series of ancient chalets (the oldest of which date back to the sixteenth century) built on a small plateau on the slopes of Mount Fraiteve. Perched on a natural terrace in the Upper Susa Valley, it provides a commanding view over the Montgenèvre Hill, the Monti della Luna (Mountains of the Moon) and Mount Chaberton. The old town was renovated and modernised in 1969, and today it is a well-organised tourist centre that will meet the requirements of the most demanding holidaymakers.
