A Bike Ride Through the Land of the Fiat 500
With the Alps at your back and a glass of Moscato d’Asti waiting for you at the end of the day… la vita è bella in the Piedmont region! Over the course of two weeks, discover the architectural richness of the towns along the way, the majesty of the mountains overlooking Turin, and enough culinary specialties to ensure you never eat the same thing twice—though you’ll surely want to go back for seconds on dishes featuring the region’s white truffles.
On your bike, you’ll delight in the small country roads lined with fields and centuries-old—or even millennia-old—houses! In the land of Barolo and Barbaresco, life is good, and the route will allow you to peacefully admire the rich landscapes of Italy’s agricultural heartland!
