Easy, varied and interesting excursion within the Gran Paradiso National Park where it is possible to come across herds of chamois and ibex.
Description of the route
Along the route, groomed by snowcat, there is a spectacular view of the Gran Paradiso mountain and its imposing glaciers. While walking it is likely to see climbers on ice falls.
Leave the car in the large car park at the beginning of the town of Valnontey, continue on the orographic right of the stream until you reach the first wooden bridge (Leutta locality). Once you have crossed the bridge, continue on the orographic left, being very careful to follow the marked path for pedestrians and not to walk on the cross-country trails, up to the second bridge just after the Prà-su-Piaz locality.
Before tackling the path it is advisable to find out about its practicability.
