Valle Orce

Gran Piano di Noasca

Goats and chamoises grazing on lush green meadows. This is a sight that best describes the Gran Piano. This region is quite, secluded and untouched by tourists. With beautiful views of the Valle Orco, this picture perfect place is ideal for a picnic in the countryside. It connects also connects you with hill of Nivolet.

Piano del Nivolet

2,500 m above sea level, this plateau stretches for six kilometers is dotted with numerous water bodies. These lakes and rivers are a hub for all sorts of flora and fauna.

Valle di Piantonetto

This imposing valley is a haven for mountain climbers. If mountain climing isn’t your cup of tea, this place is still worth a visit. The Becco di Valsoera and Becchi della Tribolazione and the Teleccio all make the place extremely scenic and offer great views.

Colle Sià

Colle Sià is popular for two reasons – for the great views of the beautiful Levanne glaciers and for the unique sightings of the park’s animals. A well trodden mule-track leads you from Ceresole Reale to Colle Sià. You can also continue on this path to reach the top of Orco valley.
