ロカーナの峡谷・トップ5

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

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.

The splendid Vallone di Valeille, wild and little frequented, extends between the peaks just above the village of Lillaz, in a southerly direction.

Just above Lillaz at the beginning of path 15, a wonderful valley that enters under the peaks

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

Beautiful place in the Val di Cogne that can be accessed by mountain bike.

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.
