The National Museum of the Mountain "Duca degli Abruzzi" in Turin is a real cultural sanctuary located in one of the most evocative areas of the city, next to the church and convent of Monte dei Cappuccini. This elevated position not only dominates the city below, but also offers a breathtaking panoramic view that sweeps across an extensive arc of the Alps, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in unparalleled alpine scenery.

 

The museum is passionately dedicated to the preservation and narration of the history of the mountain, with a particular focus on the development of Italian skiing and mountaineering. Its collections include a wide range of objects of material culture that illustrate the evolution of mountain tools and techniques, as well as highlighting the deep links between man and the high peaks. There is also a special focus on winter sports, including a significant collection linked to the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games.

A highlight of the museum is definitely the access to the Panoramic Terrace. This platform offers a unique perspective in the world, with an enchanting view that embraces the skyline of Turin and extends for over 400 kilometers along the majestic Alpine arc. It is the ideal place to appreciate the beauty of nature and the grandeur of the mountain landscape.

Stop No. 4 of the RED Line is located right in front of the museum's entrance, making it easy and practical to reach this wonderful cultural destination and enjoy a unique and scenic learning experience.
