In the diary of his pilgrimage on the Way of St. James, which was published later, the German entertainer Hape (Hans-Peter) Kerkeling also writes about the meditative experience of praying the Rosary together, which he experienced himself in the “grandiose village church, which has the makings of a cathedral” of Castildelgado (Castile). Under the date June 21, 2001, he notes: “I simply must see the only tourist attraction in town! (…) She is all the more pleased that I want to see the jewel of Castildelgado and accompanies me inside. Our tour quickly ends in front of the altar, and so the woman asks me to take a seat in one of the wonderfully cool pews. Gradually, other people enter the church. The older lady begins to pray the rosary. The monotonous chanting has a calming effect, and the constantly repeating lament gives strength, security, and peace! So, after I can recite the words along with her, I join in the mantra…” (Hape Kerkeling in “I’m Off Then: My Journey on the Camino de Santiago”)

Church dedicated to the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is located in the center of Claviere, slightly off the provincial road. In front is a pedestrian plaza with several benches; to the side is a park with a beautiful fountain (drinking water). All around are bars and restaurants. In the background, the stunning mountains of the Susa Valley. The portal is remarkable, with a beautiful fresco depicting the Nativity.

A section of the SP24 road closed to motorized traffic after the opening of the new tunnel just before Cesana, and now reserved for cyclists and hikers. Ideally divided into two sections: the lower section, almost entirely within a man-made avalanche tunnel, features large windows along the valley side that provide sufficient natural light for safe travel; the upper section, almost vertically overlooking the valley below, offers breathtaking views. This is a mandatory route, as the new road tunnel is off-limits to bicycles, but since you have to pass through it, it's worth enjoying it thoroughly.

It is located at the top of the Chiesa hamlet, just inside the town. The roads leading to it are mostly pedestrianized, but accessible by bicycle. The church has a rather intricate façade, with a beautiful portal; the rectory, which overlooks the churchyard at a 90° angle to the church, is also very beautiful. Next to the church is a fountain nestled among the trees. The stone bell tower is also noteworthy. In front, a stunning view of the Susa Valley awaits. To reach the churchyard, you have to do a bit of portage, but it's worth it.

You'll come across it along the road to Sauze d'Oulx. It's a beautiful mountain church, with a three-arched portico, a beautiful portal, and a lovely bell tower, all clearly influenced by Baroque architecture. You have to go there specifically, but it's worth it—especially since the journey takes you through old Oulx, which is also worth it. The view of the church from the Oulx cemetery, with the mountains in the background, is interesting.

Freed by the construction of the new tunnel (which is closed to bicycles), the old tunnel is now the undisputed realm of pedestrians and bicycles. The atmosphere inside is lovely, and the views of the valley are stunning when you exit.
