Piemonte

If you are planning a trip, a weekend or an adventure-filled holiday combining bike and open-air in a small world with a thousand places that are suitable for sports and leisure, Piedmont is your destination.

Welcome to the region at the foot of the western Alps, the two-wheels homeland of the Italian cycling that knows how to surprise both families and adventure lovers, who want to live an experience “completely immersed” in the environment. Sounds tempting? Enrich your experience on 16,000 kilometers of cycling routes and a huge network of trails using mountain bike or e-bike whether you look for easy mid-mountain paths of for the adrenaline rush of free riding on two wheels. Take your time to enjoy on the Rice Roads in the Vercelli area or on The Lake Orta Tour, in Novara area. In the Biella area, enthusiasts  will enjoy  the Biella-Oropa climb, the Pantani Mountain of the Giro d'Italia: 12 km to reach the Sanctuary of Oropa, a UNESCO Heritage Site. Do you prefer a hilly landscape? Among the great variety of bike trails in Langhe Roero Monferrato choose the challenging route Dalle Dolci Terre alle Langhe, from Acqui Terme to Canelli. For thrill-lovers the Limone-Monesi Salt Road, in the Cuneo area, is the most beautiful country road in Europe from the Alps to the sea on an old military road, whereas the Colle delle Finestre, close to Turin, take you at a tough climb of the Giro d'Italia: 17 km between Susa Valley and Chisone Valley.
