Piedmont cycling holidays

In the foothills of the Alps lies Piedmont, one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Known for Barolo wine, white truffles, and charming hilltop towns, this northwestern region is perfect for cyclists seeking stunning scenery and rich cultural experiences.

Why choose Piedmont for a cycling holiday?

Piedmont’s Langhe and Monferrato regions are a paradise of vineyards and gentle hills. Cycle past Nebbiolo vines, stopping in Barolo, Alba, and Asti for tastings and local cuisine. The region is dotted with medieval towns, cobbled streets, and rustic castles. On clear days, the snow-capped Alps frame your ride—a truly breathtaking sight. This is the land of slow food. Enjoy rich cheeses, hazelnut pastries, handmade pasta, and world-renowned truffles, often served in family-run trattorias and Michelin-starred restaurants alike.
