It takes its name from the Varaita, a right-hand tributary of the Po which flows through the valley.
Geographyedit
Close the French border the valley is divided in two sub-valleys named Valle di Bellino (south) and Valle di Chianale (north), which meet near Casteldelfino.
The valley can be reached by car/bus from Po Plain following the strada provinciale[1]della Valle Varaita; it also can be accessed by the French region of Queyras by the Collle dell'Agnello, the third highest Alpine pass crossed by an asphalted road.[2]
