The Trick with RocciamelonePhoto: Joachim Altenhein, DAV Sektion Berlin
This path is a variant to the GTA route. The descent is steeper, but it shortens the route significantly along the dull road under the highway in the valley.
Susa, with good railway connections to Turin, is a logical endpoint for a GTA hike.
Author’s recommendation

From Posto Tappa, the path follows the road downwards for the first 200m, with several opportunities to shorten the route on footpaths. Shortly after the last house of Il Trucco, a trail turns left and steeply descends the slope. Here you leave the official GTA route. The path descends steeply through an area affected by a forest fire in 2017.
For about 1000m, you briefly follow a driveway, cross the road, and continue descending on a path until you reach the Cappella San Pietro at a hairpin bend of the road. However, you do not follow the road, but go to the right, first fairly level, then diagonally along the slope downwards.
At the end, a short stretch of road passes a modern church leading to a valley road below the highway. Turn left, go under the highway, turn right at the next crossroads, and soon reach the train station of Susa.
