Summer in Piemonte means long open-air days to be experienced slowly among mountain valleys and villages, hills and lakes.
The network of paths on the Piemonte mountains is very extensive and unwinds across plateaus, mountain pastures and valleys, amid landscapes of wild and fresh beauty. From the Cuneo Valleys to the Susa Valley and the Lanzo Valleys, from Valsesia to the Ossola Valleys and the Apennines, there are infinite trips to take on by foot, bike, or on horseback, to get to the heart of the local culture and typical flavours: in many refuges you can now try truly gourmet menus that focus on local seasonal and quality products.
The villages fully convey the harmony and charm of the ancient walls immersed in the countryside among the hills, stretching as far as you can see, of the wine growing landscapes in Langhe-Roero and Monferrato.
And for swimming lovers? No problem! The Piemonte lakes offer more than 70 swimming beaches between Lakes Maggiore, Orta, Mergozzo, Candia, Sirio and Avigliana.
