ノアスカの峡谷・トップ4

Good starting or ending point with a free parking area offering direct access to main trails toward nearby mountain refuges.

A beautiful valley that looks very much like a plateau. With some imagination you feel like you are in Peru or Patagonia :-).

Climb, road and valley are steep, first 4 km with some hard but balanced stretches of flat ground, the last 7 km are tough. The asphalt is quite degraded, with eight sectors where the road has been restored after landslides, so the asphalt has disappeared. There are eight drainage grates to watch out for, they cross the road and are made of iron rods that can easily fit a 25 tire. With a road bike, to be avoided on days of uncertain weather, the road has the constant presence of stones and armrests, with water I think it's a mess.

A rushing mountain stream makes its way through the rocks through flowering meadows. While the peak across the valley is called that, you really feel like you're in paradise here. That's the only way it can look.

Alpine valley. Wild mountain. Of a beauty that is difficult to describe...

The Piantonetto valley is a splendid, lonely and wild valley that leads to the Teleccio dam. It begins in the locality Rosone fraz. of Locana, with the first hairpin bends, with a moderate slope. After the built-up area of San Lorenzo you enter the valley with splendid and isolated hamlets, some now uninhabited.

These gorges were created by the Orco stream, which originates from small springs between Punta Leynir and Punta Rosset and is fed by lakes and by the melting of the glacier and snow of the Gran Paradiso.

Beginning of the wonderful Nivolet valley from the town of Pont. Magnificent landscape and paying attention it will not be difficult to see marmots, chamois and ermines along the way to the lakes.
