A beautiful route along the valley bottom amid the green meadowlands and tranquillity of the woods, accompanied by the sounds of nature. The route passes through old villages and follows the course of the Orco River. A small detour in the centre of Locana brings you to the Antichi e nuovi mestieri (old and new trades) Visitor Centre where a beautiful little animated theatre tells the story of the hard life of the chimneysweeps. The route can also be started from Rosone, or it can be shortened by starting from piazza Gran Paradiso di Locana in either of the two directions (Sparone or Rosone).
