Altitude 962 m above sea level.

Pirchiriano Mount, placed as sentinel of the Susa Valley, is famous for hosting, on its summit, one of the most famous abbeys in Europe, as well as a symbolic monument of Piedmont: the Sacra di San Michele. Precisely following the construction of the monastery (born between 983 and 987 on a pre-existing hermitage site and developed between the 11th and 15th centuries), the name of the mountain was changed from Porcariano (mountain of the pigs) to Pirchiriano (mountain of the sacred fire ).
