Pian del Valasco, Valdieri
Piedmont
A wide, almost level track follows the Gesso della Valletta up to the Pian del Valasco at 1,760 m, a huge flat pasture where the river braids past the turreted royal hunting "castle". A gentle family walk into the heart of the Alpi Marittime, with harder loops climbing to the Valscura lakes above.
