Pedal Ventures
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.
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.
Piedmont has a continental climate—best cycling months are May–June and September–October. Expect rolling hills, occasional steep climbs, and quiet country roads with minimal traffic.
We offer curated self-guided and guided tours, many focused on wine, gastronomy, and panoramic cycling. Routes range from easy rolling rides to more demanding hill loops, with e-bike upgrades available.
“The Slow Food movement was founded in Bra, a town in Piedmont that still hosts food festivals celebrating traditional ingredients.”
