BALBOUTET

The village of Balboutet, located in the municipality of Usseaux in Val Chisone, is a small alpine gem known as the “village of the Sun” thanks to its fabulous southern exposure.

In the village, you’ll find numerous sundials painted on the house facades — each with designs, mottos, and symbols related to the sun — which give it a unique charm.
Strolling through the narrow streets, you can feel an atmosphere of times gone by: stone and wood houses, community ovens, fountains, and an open view of the valley’s woods and mountains.

A perfect place to relax, savor the quiet of the high mountains, and discover authentic traditions.
