Barbaresco to Barolo Self-guided Walking Tour

The Piedmont is Italy’s second biggest region and could not be more multi-faceted. Pure bliss while you explore the Langhe region during your walks, but there is more – such as the varied nature landscape of the unmistakable line of hills covered with vineyards as far as the eye can see. This is the spot where the world’s finest and most expensive wines are grown and there are plenty of opportunities to sample some of them in the numerous wine stores all located in historic buildings. Culturally the Piedmont region is just as diverse and has a lot to offer, starting with numerous historic places and the medieval villages situated on small hills between picturesque valleys are especially attractive. Finally the culinary side of this region makes it of course a special hotspot: truffles, risotto and cheese topped off by delicious wine and a little piece of ‚Nocciola di Piedmonte’ – experience walking bliss in paradise!

Highlights:

  • World Heritage region of Langhe-Roero: Considered worthy of special protection by UNESCO, the Langhe-Roero region presents itself with a mixture of wine terraces and gentle hills. Tip: The grapes for the best and most expensive wines in the world grow in Langhe-Roero!
  • Culinary delights: Indulgent highpoints await you in Piedmont every day. Whether it's exquisite wine from the region, fine Alba truffles, creamy risotto or a piece of "Nocciola di Piemonte" - in the restaurants and markets you'll feast like the locals. A wine tasting is included in the hiking tour!
  • Mediterranean Middle Ages: In many sleepy villages of Piedmont, time seems to have stood still. Places like Alba, Cravanzana, Treiso or Serralunga d'Alba seem to be from the Middle Ages.

Then you continue towards San Bovo enjoying marvellous panoramic views and finally reach the flower village of Castino, located onto top of a hill between the Bormida and Belbo river valleys. In the Middle Ages it was an affluent focal point with three monasteries and today you can marvel at the first truffle grove for tourists in this region.

    From the heart of hazelnut growing, the route takes you on slightly hilly terrain through the upper Belbo-river valley, well-known for potato growing via Feisoglio to Niella Belbo. The architectural style of this medieval village was shaped by Napoleon’s march through, hence the byname ‚dei francesci’. After a range of hills with marvellous views onto sleepy little villages and old ruins, you reach San Benedetto. Short transfer to the well-known flower villlage of Bossolasco.
