Shortest AV2 stage: descend through woods and Paradisia garden to Valnontey and Cogne.
A gentle, glorious descent: from the Sella hut follow the royal mule track down the Lauson valley, among waterfalls and pastures, to Valnontey, with the Tribolazione glacier and the Gran Paradiso north face sealing the valley. The Paradisia alpine botanical garden at Valnontey deserves your last hour; then the Sant’Orso meadow leads into Cogne, capital of the Park.
