Kart Valsusa

At the foot of the Susa Alps, in Bruzolo in the province of Turin in Piedmont, the Kart Valsusa runs an outdoor track in the famous Val di Susa, on the historic Frejus route to France. The site sits in an alpine setting typical of middle Val di Susa: the first alpine heights, chestnut and larch forests and views over the Rocciamelone massif (3,538 m) and Monte Pirchiriano. It is used by Val di Susa residents for sport outings and by adult drivers looking for an alpine sport-focused setting.

When it comes to driving, the outdoor track offers a layout suited to adult and experienced drivers, in the picturesque setting of the Val di Susa. Several engine sizes are available, with higher-powered karts for regulars used to timed sessions. Conditions follow the Piedmontese alpine climate: drier and faster in summer, more demanding on rainy autumn days and cold winter ones. The site hosts enthusiast sessions, motorsport-focused stag and hen groups, corporate events and club days from the Turin area.

Bruzolo is thirty minutes from Turin, forty-five minutes from Sestriere and one hour from the French border at the Frejus. The region offers plenty more to see: the Sacra di San Michele (the abbey symbol of Piedmont perched on Monte Pirchiriano, the inspiration for Umberto Eco's 'The Name of the Rose'), the historic centre of Susa Roman remains and the Arch of Augustus, the Sestriere Olympic resort, Avigliana and its lake, the historic centre of Turin and the Reggia di Venaria UNESCO, or a side trip to Sestriere and the Via Lattea slopes or the Frejus pass to France. Karting in Val di Susa is a sport option for Turin locals.
