A tour suitable for everyone, starting from the plains of Canavese and gradually ascending the Orco Valley, to reach Gran Paradiso National Park and concludes at the beautiful Colle del Nivolet (2620 m), a stage of the 2019 Giro d’Italia, offering breathtaking panoramic views. A true unknown and unspoiled wild paradise!
You will have the opportunity to sustainably visit an untouched area of Piedmont, authentic and characterized by a diverse and wild landscape, especially in the upper valley, thanks to Gran Paradiso National Park (Italy’s oldest protected area, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2022), which has protected these areas from urbanization and the development of mass tourism that is disrespectful to the natural environment and the territory.
With its plains, lakes, hills, and imposing mountains, the landscape will never cease to amaze you!
Starting from Santhia, we will ascend the territory of the Ivrea morainic amphitheater, which with an area of over 500 km², is one of the best-preserved geomorphological units of its kind in the world.
We will pass by lakes that bear the memory of ancient glaciers such as Lake Viverone and Lake Candia, cross picturesque villages like Borgomasino, Torre Canavese, Aglie with its Castle, and then ascend the entire Orco Valley. We will marvel at imposing granite walls that have revolutionized the world of climbing (Caporal and Sergent), admire crystal-clear waterfalls cascading for hundreds of meters (Sparone and Noasca), until we reach the plain of Ceresole Reale, the last village in the valley located at 1500m, where the perspective widens and the imposing Tre Levanne mountains are reflected on the homonymous lake.
We are now just a short distance away from Colle del Nivolet, one of the most breathtaking spots in all of Piedmont, where we will be greeted by charming marmots and a flora that has just awakened from the slumber imposed by the snow, which usually lasts until almost June.
