Scent of History. A nature path just upstream of Noasca, partly furnished with explanatory panels, goes through villages in the historic Valley of the Roc once inhabited the whole year and enriched by remains of frescoes. This wonderful example of combination between history of the territory and nature finds its maximum expression completing the circuit that continues until Pianchette, crossing a confy and fresh beech forest. house of many animal species of the Park.

From Rhemes Notre Dame, departed from the small village of Bruil, follow the signs for the Entrelor Hill. The trailhead is located right next to the Park house, home of the surveillance service in the Valley (Oreiller hamlet). At the first fork in the trail continue as shown on the left to the Sort Valley.

A journey to discover step by step! The mountains often reserve surprises: along narrow paths among rocky walls it's not expected to be faced with a wide valley, where a clear stream flows sluggishly, drawing numerous meanders... The Nivolet plateau inspires indeed the perception of grandiose nature work, that fears only the man's action.

Not to be missed:

- waterfall of the Nivolet torrent
- alpine pastures
- vegetation of the cliffs
- chamois and marmottes

Sometimes you find places of old legends that seem to have reflection in the atmosphere breathed. The Cucco Castle, rocky outcrop topped by an iron cross, was said to be a place frequented by witches who celebrated the Sabbath ... A little higher up, you can also see many trees singed ... strucked by lightnings? Who knows!

The frogs reign. There are many surprises in a mountain hike: after an ascent suddenly a valley, a waterfall and a stream occur, crossed by a wooden bridge, larch trees, votive chapels, steep ravines, small lakes among pasture and roche moutonnée, aerial panorama, showy blooming.. but be careful: the frog life need to be respected: do not collect tadpoles!

If you want, it's possible to climb up more over the Bardoney valley and reach the Loie lake to then go down to Lillaz on a route, sometimes steep, but definitely panoramic.

Simple loop hike that allows you to enter in the wide valley of Valeille, dominated by glaciers. Through a beautiful forest of larches and spruces, populated by numerous songbirds and squirrels, you reach a balcony facing the beautiful waterfall of Lillaz: here we recommend you to follow the various waterfalls along the path, sometimes steep, that enter back in Lillaz near the hydroelectric station.

Leave the car in the Piazzale Campiglia Soana, take the dirt road that leads to Pian of Azaria. The route has only some climb to reach the broad plateau of the basin at the bottow of the rocky ridges of Rancio. A typical alpine forest mixed of deciduous and coniferous accompanied along the way to end in Gr. Barmaion only with beautiful specimens of spruce and larch trees. Beyond the pasture, the forest gives way to the alpine meadow, rich in colorful blooms frequented by important species of butterflies and other alpine insects.

The picturesque village of Piamprato, in the homonym Valley going up from Valprato Soana, offers numerous walks, more or less difficult, starting mostly crossing the village. We proceed along the wide track to reach the broad and beautiful plateaus above populated by marmots and grazing herds, next to Grange Prariond. For climbing lovers it's possible to reach the rocky plateau on the left orographic side of the valley, before entering in the village.

Departure from Piamprato Soana from where take the dirt road that leaves the village and crosses the first meadows to then go along the stream. Passed the turn-off to the Colle della Ballard, continue along the track, going through some bends to coast Grange Prariond, then continue until a small parking lot. From here keep going on the trail up to the Grange Ciavanassa, bypassing on the right. Along the margin, a larch forest, you arrive at a second building to then bend to the left towards the engraving of the Royal Canal.

Departure can be both from the small village of Forzo and the really near Molino di Forzo, going up to Tressi and from here following the path to the medium-size Forzo Valley. Starting from Tressi, after crossing a rocky outcrop where you can see a beautiful shrine placed in the rock, it continues in the Valley arriving at the bottom of a balcony, on which stands the village of Boschietto and its characteristic church recently restored. It's likely to sight hibex and camois.
