View of the village of Fornolosa

Highlight • Viewpoint

In winter the final stretch is almost always in the shade so the temperature is often close to zero or below zero, so equip yourself well for the cold....

Gorges of the Orco stream

Highlight • Gorge

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.

Noasca Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Truly beautiful place, a gem hidden in the mountains. Easy to reach by car, several free parking spaces are available. The route begins behind the church, and is well indicated by signs. The climb is a bit steep but feasible even for those who are not used to trekking. I recommend comfortable clothing and technical shoes (with simple smooth-soled sneakers there is the risk of slipping on wet rocks).
The viewpoint is spectacular.

The old road of Ceresole

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Tacx ride Col del Nivolet
This two-stage ride is one of the most scenic and challenging climbs in the Italian Alps. Stage one begins in a long valley that takes you into the wilderness of the mountains as you begin your ascent. The sun begins to set during this ride, offering breathtaking views.

Old Ceresole Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

After Noasca the view becomes more interesting: after the first hairpin bends a choice is made, on one side the road crosses a tunnel of almost four kilometers - for which the use of lights is recommended - while on the other you can take a road exterior, newly asphalted for the passage of the Giro d'Italia last year. The second choice is certainly more scenic, which allows you to admire the beauties of nature, including overhangs, waterfalls and the course of the Orco stream. The slope, in this section, is between 10% and 15%.

Locana

Highlight • Settlement

Locana is a small town along the Orco, near the Gran Paradiso National Park. The climb to Nivolet (and many stages of the Giro) passes here.
