From the bivouac, downhill, continue on the route of the Alta Via Canavesana, which for this section coincides with the Giro Parco, and arrives close to Alpe Breuil and its plateau. Further on, leave the mule track on the right which, across Colle Sià and Cà Bianca, descends to Ceresole Reale. Continue instead to the left on the flat trail which takes to the Casa di Caccia del Gran Piano 2222 m. From here, leave the A.V.C. and continue to the edges of the plateau in a southerly direction to follow the Strada Reale di caccia which, on numerous bends and constant gradient, descends to Noasca. At 1900 m, at the junction with trail 552, which descends to Varda –Balmarossa, continue left, following the well signposted track that descends into the reforestation area (this section of the trail is subject to rock falls so, in case of bad weather, it is recommended to descend directly to Varda on 552). At an altitude of 1650, you encounter trail 548 that takes to the Noaschetta Refuge, which you leave on the left, continuing downhill on the strada reale di caccia as far as the Provincial road, just upstream of Noasca, where there are accommodation facilities.

Noasca: PNGP Visitors Centre "Le Forme del Paesaggio". The centre is home to a permanent exhibition that describes the geomorphology of the Park.
