Gorge

Coming from Paularo, near the cason "Da Nelut", we go down into the deep gorge of the river Chiarsò called Forra de Las Callas, a beautiful example of fluvial erosion. We climb up the river bed walking among the rocks and ferns. The calcareous walls are 200 meters high and create a really beautiful view. We follow the path CAI 442, on the left orographic bank of the stream, which guides us along the path that its sounds and noises.

So far the path is fairly easy, but then you start to climb the highest part of the canyon, which is equipped with a steel cord. For this reason the path of Las Callas is recommended only for experienced hikers.
