The Chiusella valley (in Italian Valle Chiusella or, simply, Valchiusella) is a valley in the Province of Turin (Piedmont, Italy).

Etymology

Valchiusella takes its name from Chiusella, a right-hand tributary of the Dora Baltea which flows through the valley.

Geography

The valley starts in the Graian Alps from the rough mountains where it meets with Aosta and Soana valleys and initially encompasses an almost unpopulated area used as pasturage during the summer. After Traversella the valley widens and becomes a hilly area punctuated with several small towns and villages.
