From Noasca we follow the pathway along the right-hand bank of the Orco River which, through the chestnut woods, follows the old mule track linking the various towns and villages of the valley. Near frazione Prà  it is worth a brief digression to the Orco riverbed where you can enjoy a view of the gorges that the river has gradually cut into the rock.
