The Valle Germanasca is a valley in the Metropolitan City of Turin, Piedmont, north-western Italy run by the Germanasca stream, a right affluent of the Chisone.
The valley, in the past affected by a strong depopulation, is now partially characterized by a tourist vocation, in particular for its landscape beauties. The main resort is Ghigo, a frazione of the comune of Prali, famous for its ski resort. Also visited are the Talc mines of the valley, which are of its resources and are still active.
