Passage on a steep wet rock slab with a now unusable steel cable replaced with a rope which however is very unsafe

The effort of the somewhat steep path is rewarded by the beautiful and suggestive passage behind the waterfall

It is not for nothing that this valley is very popular with ice climbers in winter - there are simply so many very beautiful ones!

This is where the hard area of the Colle del Nivolet begins. It is a mountain town in the Orc Valley, which has a very pretty fountain next to a bridge over the river. It's worth stopping to take a breather and regroup. Right at the exit of the town, the first horseshoes and ramps above 10%. The Nivolet show begins!!!

Magnificent place, even children can reach it on foot. It's not difficult at all to get there, of course you have to climb a little. Once you reach the top there is a wonderful waterfall which you can pass behind and admire the wonder of nature and the mountains. Easy easy route, some passages a little less but absolutely doable! Highly recommended for a day trip and family walk. Good fun.

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.

Today I take you to see the behind the scenes of a spectacular waterfall. He jumps 32 meters and is found in Valle Orco. I'm talking about the Noasca waterfall, one of the most famous in Piedmont. It will leave you speechless. today we will not only admire it from afar but we will arrive in its noisy presence and we will pass behind it. Let's put on comfortable shoes, the path climbs steeply and is steep at times. We leave the car in the convenient parking in the square in the center of Noasca. Here we already find the first signs that show us the path to follow. We then reach the church and go to the back. We begin to climb along the steep path in the woods, we go slowly, the way to go is short. We follow the path and in a few moments we find ourselves in a cave and in front of us a wall of water. In the background, the tiny town of Noasca. We sit on a boulder and admire the show. After our usual thousand ritual photos, we have to go back to the valley. We decide to change direction and go round the ring. Here we have to cover a small, somewhat slippery stretch because we pass next to a slightly dripping rock wall. However, there are ropes that help us not lose balance. Now the path descends into the woods and in a short time we are on the road. We look up and find our Noasca waterfall, this time in its entirety, as we have always seen it and we understand that perhaps before we were really too small to be seen. We cross the bridge and we are back to the parking lot.
