Rank : 9.7 (average on 3 votes)

Coordinates : 45.383590, 7.333263 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : This is the classic alpine environment with mountains that exceed abundantly 3,000 meters (the highest peak is represented by the Levanna Orientale, 3.555 meters altitude.) The valley (the northernmost of the three Lanzo valleys) stretches for 17 kilometers Ceres up to Opi Alpi Graie, a starting point for several excursions, and other centers of a certain importance are Cantoira, Chialamberto and Groscavallo. There are many interesting attractions: from the magnificent alpine villages such as Rivotti, Alboni, Vonzo and Lities to high altitude hikes mountain like the one leading to the beautiful lakes of Unghiasse and the one leading to the Daviso hut, a starting point for several treks. From a faunistic point of view, the valley is positively affected by the proximity to the Gran Paradiso National Park and the phenomenon of ' abandonment of the alpine rocks.The roe deer are widespread everywhere as the glaciers are more concentrated towards the head of the valley. but also present are deer, chamois and muffle. Ascertained, at least with specimens of passage, the presence of the wolf. Personally, I have visually observed the royal eagle and recently the gypsum.

Recommended equipment : It goes from wide-angle for landscape photos to photographic shooting canvases, which is more difficult to practice than in the nearby Grand Paradiso National Park due to a greater diffidence of wildlife. As in many other places, macro photography can also give great satisfaction.

Best months : Every season can be interesting from a photographic point of view: spring for its blooms, summer for high altitude trekking, autumn for wonderful colors and winter for its whitewashed landscapes.

How to get there : From the Turin ring road, take the exit for Venaria Druento. From here you will walk along the wall of the park "La Mandria" in the direction of Lanzo. Then follow the directions for Pessinetto and then gradually for Ceres, Cantoira and Chialamberto.

Visits : Entry is free and there is no entry ticket.
