Borgone Susa, on the floor of the lower Susa valley

Borgone Susa lies in the lower Susa valley, west of Turin, on the valley floor where the Dora Riparia river runs, at the foot of wooded slopes. The Frejus motorway and the Turin to Modane railway pass through the valley, linking it with Turin and with France. It is mainly residential, with many people commuting towards the Turin area.

For buyers, the main distinction is between houses on the valley floor, easier for getting around, and those higher up the slopes, with more sun but steep roads and longer winters. Older stone houses should be assessed for damp and insulation, as this is climate zone E with cold winters.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 2,213 residents in 2023, down 4.6% since 2011. The average age is 48.3, against 47.4 for the metropolitan area of Turin, and over-65s make up 28.9%. Foreign nationals account for 5.6%. Declared incomes are below the average for the Turin area.

Borgone Susa is in seismic zone 3, like most municipalities around Turin (271 out of 312), with expected ground acceleration of 0.130 g. With an old masonry building, have the connections between walls and floors checked during any renovation.

Cadastral maps are public here: the report reaches the land parcel from the address and checks the official flood and landslide maps, useful in a valley floor village with slopes behind it.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Borgone Susa is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3S. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
