GPR Stage 3: Noasca - Hamlet of San Lorenzo | Alessandria and Monferrato

Loading...

Highlights and tour details

From Noasca, follow the trail on the right bank of the River Orco which, crossing the chestnut groves, retraces the route of the old mule track to connect the hamlets of the valley. Close to the Prà hamlet, it is worth making a small detour to the Orco riverbed to appreciate the gorges that the river has cut into the rock. Having reached Gera, cross the River on two footbridges and after a short paved section, which crosses the Fei hamlet, climb on easy mule tracks, initially in the chestnut grove and then in the hazelnut groves. Having reached the altitude of 1500 m, on a short flat section to the right, you reach Meinardi with its Sanctuary dedicated to Saint Anna. The trail cuts the high slope proceeding almost flat with a long paved section that takes to the path of the former Electricity Company. Having travelled a section of the path you meet the trail that, on the right, descends steeply to the hamlet of Perebella. From the hamlet, a mule track is taken that reaches the road of Piantonetto after crossing the hamlet of Bertodasco. Having reached the paved road, climb the road to the left, uphill, for approximately 1 km, reaching the hamlet of San Lorenzo.
