Rolling hills, Barolo wine, and timeless Italian charm. Your ride through Piedmont begins here. This region is home to the Nebbiolo grape, which yields legendary wines like Barolo and Barbaresco. Piedmont also celebrates sweetness, birthplace of Ferrero’s Nutella and Ferrero Rocher and the prized hazelnuts used in them grow in groves recognized by UNESCO. This is also the home of the global Slow Food movement, where quality, tradition, and sustainability guide every bite. The trip is totally customizable and, for cyclists chasing elevation and epic views, custom itineraries can include legendary climbs like Colle dell’Agnello (22.4 km at 6.5%) and Colle della Lombarda (21.3 km at 6.8%), both with Giro d’Italia and Tour de France pedigree. And for food lovers, white truffles add an earthy luxury to local dishes. The self-guided and guided versions of this trip differ not only in the level of support, but also in the itinerary design and style of accommodations. Each version offers a unique experience, tailored to match the pace and preferences of independent travelers or those who prefer the ease and camaraderie of a guided group.
