The Valle Germanasca is a side valley of the Val Chisone in the Italian province of Turin in the Piedmont region. It is crossed by Torrente Germanasca, a right tributary of the Chisone in a northeasterly direction.

The valley is located in the Cozie Alps, near the border with France. It opens at Perosa Argentina in the Chisone Valley.

The so-called Waldensian valleys Pellice, Chisone and Germanasca were from the Middle Ages to the 19th century retreat areas of the Waldenses. After expulsion in 1686 and 1689, the return of armed returnees barricaded for months on a steep ridge at Balsiglia ( small museum ).
