    On this circular hike of about 14 kilometres, delight in the beauty of the Nara landscape and discover its alps which are still being used today.

    Start in Cancorì, which can be reached by car or chairlift from Leontica, and follow the trail southwards to the Alpe del Gualdo. It’s also possible to take a short detour to the Alpe di Tarco, and then continue northwards, crossing the Bosco Negro, up to the Alpe Cambra.

    The trail then descends to Alpe di Pian Laghetto, Alpe Piandioss with its mountain hut, and returns to Cancorì passing through Gariva, from where it is possible to reach Alpe di Sorda and Pianezza.
