see my note added below

It's a promotional leaflet for a valley in Lombardy - for tourism purposes - if that's any help.
Patrick McKeown Sep 20, 2007:
I agree with Marie, in that you might be better off recasting your text. The Italian is "more precise" - just which right-hand side are we talking about? With my back to the mountains? Going upstream or downstream? But "orographic" in a guide book?

"Oro-" simply refers to mountains, so you may want to simplify this if the text is for a more general reading public.

if the river is running south and the mountains are to the north, the orographic right would be the western bank. In other words, you should imagine your back to the mountains. Then perhaps you can simply use north- south-east west - It would probably be clearer for the average reader!
