Waterfall and Mountain Views in Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Stock up on water, I recommend you go up, go through the tunnel, go a little longer but it's worth it, there are two mini landslides, you can get through anyway

This refuge was for many years the hunting lodge of Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy. It is located on the Valasco plain, an enchanting place in any season of the year and can be reached with a walk of about an hour from the Valdieri spa. A young and eager team will welcome you.

Valasco Plateau

Highlight • Natural

The Piana del Valasco is a place of rare beauty. At the end of the climb this wonderful plateau opens up in front of you with the homonymous refuge in the center. The sound of the flowing Rio Valasco makes everything even more idyllic. From the plateau you can undertake numerous walks in the lateral or upper valleys.

To get to the Valasco refuge, it takes about 1/10 15 from the start. Once you leave the refuge, the trail continues on a very bumpy mule track …
