Cycling Tour through Piedmont

You arrive in the small town Romano Canavese, which is nestled in the green hills of the Piedmont. It was founded in 100 BC as a Roman encampment. Today, only the tower remains of the antique castle. Get comfortable in your hotel, or go through a first stroll through the village.

The path takes you south along the river Dora Baltea. You will then reach Lago di Candia, a beautiful, almost untouched lake, which is protected as a nature reserve. Go for a refreshing swim, before continuing your journey and mastering the 4 km ascent to the moraine hills. Return to Romano Canavese along the royal wine route.

You will cycle north along the Dora Baltea. Enjoy the stunning views of the river landscape and go for a stroll through the medieval town centre of Ivrea. The town is known for its historic carnival and the traditional Carnevale d'Ivrea, also known as the Battle of Oranges. Later on, you will cycle to two mountain lakes close to Ivrea. Make your way back along the ancient St. Francis path.

In the morning you will take the train to Torino, where there is so much to see: The Mole Antonelliana and the cathedral Duomo di San Giovanni are among the most beautiful buildings. After a tour of the city, a beautiful route along the river Po will lead you back to Romano Canavese. On the way, make sure to take a break in beautiful Chivasso and at the charming Castello Mazzo, from where the valley was guarded for many centuries.

Those who are up for a challenge begin the day by mastering the very steep, 2 kilometre long ascent to the Castello di Masino. Alternatively, if you prefer an easy start you can cycle along softly rolling hills and small villages with historic buildings and small castles. There are many beautiful spots to go for a refreshing dip along Viverone’s lake promenade. Later on you will cycle back to Romano Canavese, past countless orchards.

Cycle through cornfields to the majestic Castello di Pavone. The massive, double-reinforced castle walls enclose a charming courtyard and the fortress’ impressive main building. Afterwards you will master the ascent to the moraine hills. The last stretch of your journey runs along the royal wine route and will take back to Romano Canavese one last time after an exhilarating descent.

After breakfast, your cycling tour in Piedmont is unfortunately already over. We are happy to extend your stay in Romano Canavese with an extra night.
