Sassi–Superga tramway

The Sassi–Superga tramway is a steep grade railway line in the city of Turin in northern Italy.

Managed by Gruppo Torinese Trasporti, it connects the Turin suburb of Sassi to the Basilica of Superga at an altitude of 672 m (2,205 ft).

[1] From here, high in the hills facing the city across the River Po, a panorama of Turin is visible against a backdrop of the Alps.

The track connection to Turin's urban tramway network is used to transfer rolling stock to and from the workshop.
