Green CaravanLocation Details on Blurent DocumentationView map
Hiring a campervan in None starts your trip on the farming plain south-west of Turin, on the road to Pinerolo, where the Alpine valleys of the Chisone and the Pellice open up. The name of this town in the Metropolitan City of Turin has nothing to do with English: it is pronounced “NO-neh” and is said to come from the ninth Roman milestone on the road out of Turin. Our partner company Blurent hands over its vehicles at Green Caravan.
Sestriere, the Fenestrelle fortress, the Waldensian valleys and the Montgenèvre pass, the gateway to France, can all be reached without crossing the Turin conurbation.

Road trip ideas
Road trips from None
1 The Chisone Valley and Montgenèvre to Grenoble
- None
- Pinerolo
- Fenestrelle
- Sestriere
- Cesana Torinese
- Montgenèvre
- Briançon
- Col du Lautaret
- Grenoble
Pinerolo, the former French Pignerol where Fouquet and the Man in the Iron Mask were imprisoned, opens the Chisone Valley. The road climbs to Fenestrelle, whose fortress stacks its bastions up an entire mountainside, then crosses the Sestriere pass before reaching Cesana and Montgenèvre. Briançon and its Vauban ramparts lead on to the Col du Lautaret and the descent of the Romanche valley to Grenoble.
Grenoble is also a departure city of our partners, so a one-way trip is possible depending on the offer. The Lautaret road is sometimes closed: check its status before setting off.

- Pinerolo
- Luserna San Giovanni
- Torre Pellice
- Bobbio Pellice
- Cavour
- Staffarda
- Saluzzo
- Manta
- None
At Luserna San Giovanni and Torre Pellice begin the Waldensian valleys, for centuries the refuge of a persecuted Church, whose museum and temples tell its story. You drive up to Bobbio Pellice, then back down to Cavour and its rock standing alone in the middle of the plain, and to the Cistercian abbey of Staffarda. Saluzzo, former capital of a marquisate, and Manta castle, covered in Gothic frescoes, close the loop facing Monviso.

3 The Susa Valley, from the Sacra di San Michele to Bardonecchia
- None
- Avigliana
- Sacra di San Michele
- Susa
- Novalesa
- Exilles
- Bardonecchia
- None
To the north-west, the lakes of Avigliana come before the Sacra di San Michele, an abbey perched on a rocky peak at the entrance to the Susa Valley, whose silhouette is said to have inspired Umberto Eco's abbey in The Name of the Rose. Susa keeps the Arch of Augustus and the remains of its Roman town, Novalesa abbey hides at the foot of Mont Cenis, and Exilles fort bars the valley before Bardonecchia.
The last climb to the Sacra is narrow: park in the designated car parks and finish on foot. The way back on the A32 motorway is tolled.

Weather and seasons
When to go in None?
Best time
June and September
June, September
The most pleasant months to leave from None: in June, the Chisone Valley's alpine pastures bloom and the high trails reopen; in September, the plain has lost its heavy heat, the orchards around Saluzzo are in full harvest and the fortresses can be visited without crowds. The days are still long enough to string the passes together.
High season
July and August
July to August
High summer: the plain between Turin and Pinerolo becomes hot and humid, with late-afternoon storms, while Sestriere and the upper valleys offer cool nights. August is when Italians go on holiday; mountain campsites and car parks at sites such as Fenestrelle or the Sacra fill up quickly.
Spring and autumn
March to May, October to November
Spring in Piedmont is often rainy, and snow lingers long above the villages of the Chisone Valley. In October the larches turn gold on the slopes and the grape harvest ends, but fog settles on the plain and November is damp. Several mountain sites then shorten their opening hours: check them before you go.
Winter
December to February
December to February
A cold winter, with night frost and frequent mist on the plain. This is the season of the Via Lattea ski area, between Sestriere and Montgenèvre, and of the cross-country trails of Pragelato, venues of the 2006 Turin Olympic Games. A well-heated motorhome and campsites open in winter are then essential.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Pick-up at Green Caravan
The Blurent vehicle is collected in None itself, at Green Caravan, which hosts the company's depot. The precise address, the appointment time and the documents to bring are in your booking confirmation; let the depot know if your train or flight is delayed so that the handover can be moved.
Arriving by train from Turin
None has a station on the Turin–Pinerolo regional line, which saves a long taxi ride from central Turin. From Turin-Caselle airport, north of the city, first head to a Turin station, or take a taxi along the ring road: an easier option with luggage.
The Sestriere road
From Pinerolo to the Sestriere pass, the Chisone Valley road is wide and well maintained, but it winds through hairpin bends above Pragelato and is shared with many cyclists in summer. The Colle delle Finestre track, partly unpaved, is not suitable for a motorhome: stay on the main road.
Sleeping in the valleys
In Italy, a motorhome may park wherever a car can, but putting out levelling chocks, an awning or tables counts as camping, which is banned outside designated places. In the Chisone and Pellice valleys, towns often provide areas with water and waste disposal, sometimes paying; near the ski resorts, many car parks ban overnight stays.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip in None
Where can I pick up a campervan in None?
Pick-up is with Blurent, our partner company in None, whose depot is based at Green Caravan. The exact address, the handover time and the documents required when signing the contract are in your confirmation. Turin, about twenty kilometres away, is also a departure city of our partners, with other depots in its south-western suburbs.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in None?
The price depends on the season, the length of hire and the model, from campervan to family motorhome. Summer and the ski weeks around Sestriere are the busiest periods. Run a search with your dates: the engine shows the offers available from None, with a total price including mandatory fees, ready to book straight away.
What is there to see around None before setting off?
A few kilometres away, the Stupinigi hunting lodge, a Baroque masterpiece by Filippo Juvarra crowned with a bronze stag, is one of the Residences of the Royal House of Savoy listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pinerolo, about twenty minutes away, has a sloping upper town around the church of San Maurizio and the national cavalry museum.
Can I drive into France from None?
Yes, by several routes: the Montgenèvre pass, reached via Sestriere or the Susa Valley, leads to Briançon; the tolled Fréjus tunnel comes out at Modane, and the Mont Cenis pass, closed in winter, leads to the upper Maurienne valley. First check that the rental company allows France and that the insurance covers it.
Can I return the motorhome in another city?
Turin and Genola, near Cuneo, are other departure cities of our partners in Piedmont, as is Verbania Pallanza on Lake Maggiore. Further afield, Milan, Genoa, Grenoble and Nice let you end your trip in Lombardy, Liguria or France. Enter the return city when you search: only the offers that accept it are shown, fees included.

The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in None
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome hired in None?
A category B licence is enough for campervans and motorhomes with a maximum weight of 3.5 tonnes, which covers most rental vehicles. With a licence issued outside the European Union, Italy may require an international driving permit as well. The minimum age and years of driving experience are stated in the conditions of each offer.
Where can I sleep in a motorhome around None?
Campsites are mainly found in the valleys, around Torre Pellice, in the Chisone Valley and in the upper Susa Valley, many of them open only in summer or during the ski season. Municipal motorhome areas complete the choice in mountain villages. Around Turin, campsites are scarce: plan your first night when you book.
Do I need winter tyres or snow chains?
In Piedmont, many roads require winter tyres or chains on board during the cold season, generally from mid-November to mid-April, as shown by road signs. On the French side, Alpine departments such as the Hautes-Alpes apply a similar requirement from November to March. Before heading to Sestriere or Montgenèvre, ask the rental company how the vehicle is equipped.
How do I get to None from Turin airport?
Turin-Caselle airport lies north of the city, None to the south-west. By taxi, the motorway ring road avoids the centre, in a little under an hour outside rush hours. Without a car, get to a Turin station, then take a regional train towards Pinerolo, which stops at None. Let the depot know your arrival time.
Which vehicle should I choose for the valleys around None?
A campervan or compact motorhome is most at ease in the villages of the Pellice Valley, on the climb to the Sacra di San Michele and in the narrow streets of Saluzzo. A low-profile or over-cab motorhome suits a family well on the Sestriere road and the Susa Valley motorway, both wide and regularly maintained.
When should I book a motorhome in None?
With a single partner company departing from None, the number of vehicles is limited: for July, August and the ski holidays, book several months ahead. For June, September or spring, a few weeks are often enough, except around Italian bank holidays. For a one-way trip to France or Liguria, book early, as not all offers allow it.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from None
None offers a quiet start, away from Turin's traffic yet only about twenty kilometres from the Piedmontese capital. The Pinerolo road leads straight to the valleys that climb towards France: the Chisone Valley and its fortresses, the Pellice Valley and its Waldensian history, then Sestriere and Montgenèvre. To the south lie Saluzzo and Staffarda abbey; to the north-west, the Sacra di San Michele and the Susa Valley.
Blurent, our partner company, hands over its vehicles at Green Caravan, on site. Turin, Genola, Grenoble or Nice, other departure cities of our partners, open the way to a one-way trip on either side of the Alps. June and September are the best months for driving, summer leads to the cool of the passes and winter to the slopes of the Via Lattea.
