Locana

Locana sits on the Orco River in Piedmont’s Canavese district, where a narrow Alpine valley rises toward the Gran Paradiso massif. The municipality is formed by a central settlement and scattered hamlets amid woodland and pasture, on the route through Valle Orco towards Ceresole Reale and the Nivolet Pass. Part of Locana’s territory belongs to Gran Paradiso National Park, founded in 1922 from the former royal hunting reserve of Victor Emmanuel II. The park is closely associated with the protection of Alpine ibex, while Locana retains the everyday character of a year-round mountain community.
