Torino to Pinasca via Porta Susa

You can get to Pinasca from Porta Susa or Puorta Nuova first by train to Pinerolo which is the end of the train line, there you will pick up a Sadem bus to Pinasca (sometimes it is still called Sapav).

The front destination should read "Perosa Argentina" which is past Pinasca (occasionally there are Fenestrelle and Sestriere buses also, but most frequent is the Perosa Argentina bus).

Porta Susa is the most direct train way to Pinerolo (cost is about €6,00).

Take the train to the end of the line in Pinerolo.

Walk towards the front of the Pinerolo train station to purchase your bus ticket for Pinasca from the bar on your left.

The bus stop for Perosa Argentina/ Pinasca is on the side of the train station.

You want to get off at Pinasca Centro or Chiesa (church). Ticket is about €3 from Pinerolo)

The bus stop for Perosa Argentina/ Pinasca

Generally if you say to the driver, Pinasca Centro (pronounced Pee-nas-ka Chin-tro or Kee a za, for the church), they may try to let you know when you are getting close, as it is a request stop.

Make sure there is a church in front of you as they sometimes let you off a bit early. I recommend sitting as close up front so you can see and have the driver help you if necessary. As you approach Pinasca, you should see a sign for Pinasca and a Brico building center/ Ins Market on the left. You will go through Dubbione in Pinasca and you are getting close now. You should see the steeple of the church coming up, as pictured below.

The bus stops just a few houses up before the parking lot of the church. The sign is a blue and white diamond on a pole on the right and is not that easy to see from very far ahead.

Pinasca Bus Stop

You can wait in the church parking lot or cross the street to Bar Claudio Monica. They are helpful to our guests waiting for us to pick them up there. You can purchase bus tickets there when you return to Turin or any other destinations up or down the valley.
