Piedmont is truly a cycling paradise. The peaceful roads and
tranquil lakes of northern Piedmont only frame the panoramic views of Alps,
vineyards and plains that make for some of the best riding in all of Italy. As
you roll west through the countryside, our best guides will acquaint you with
this region, rich in history, dramatic landscapes, cuisine, wine, and of
course, truffles.
On the bike, you will get to places you would never get to
experience with any other mode of transportation. From the foothills of the
Alps, to the Oasi Zegna and its panoramic views, to Biella, surrounded by sheep
farms and known for its superior woolen goods.
The Torino area will welcome you with its elegant porticos
and regal beauty, the urban grandeur a distinct but compelling contrast to the
equally grand countryside routes through Superga. At the Superga hilltop,
Torino is in spectacular view in the valley below. As the first capital of the
unified kingdom of Italy, Torino recently displayed its greatnessin the 2006
Winter Games.
