Exilles, its fortress and the upper Susa valley

The fortress of Exilles, a huge stronghold built on a spur above the Dora Riparia river, is the first thing you notice driving up the upper Susa valley. The village lies just above, at about eight hundred and seventy metres, in a valley that was border country for centuries: until the eighteenth century this area belonged to the French Dauphiné. Today the valley floor carries the main road and the Fréjus motorway linking Turin with France.

For a buyer, Exilles is a mountain village with long winters (climate zone F), stone houses in the centre and hamlets scattered over the slopes. Road links with the lower valley and Turin are good, but secondary schools, the hospital and bigger shops mean driving to Susa or further down. Alongside residents there are second homes owned by people who come for the mountains and the ski resorts of the upper valley.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 244 residents in 2023, down 8.3% on 2011. The estimated average age is 47.8, close to the 47.4 of the Turin metropolitan area, and over-65s make up 24.2%, fewer than the provincial average of 26.4%. Foreign residents account for 12.7%.

Exilles is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.129 g. In stone houses, ask how the roof and floors were redone. In a narrow Alpine valley, landslides, avalanches and torrent floods need checking spot by spot: the report does this on the official maps from the address. Cadastral maps are published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Exilles 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.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.129 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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