Tour description
Piedmont and Turin: a real surprise. The region's name means "at the foot of the mountains", the majestic Alps are a backdrop for the entire tour. The region is known worldwide for its wines and fine cuisine that includes a unique specialty: the truffle. You ride among green orchards, vineyards and beautiful hills, away from the bustle of mass tourism. Turin, Italy's first capital, known as "Little Paris", is also the capital of taste: great restaurants, bakeries and historic coffee bars. Full of life and elegant city, characterized by a French flair, rich of green, is the ideal city to be visited by bike.
In short: a memorable tour.
Itinerary
Individual arrive to Turin
Show dayTurin, the first capital of unified Italy in 1861, is renowned for its royal residences and rich history. Once an industrial powerhouse, the city has transformed into a vibrant cultural hub, especially following the 2006 Winter Olympics. Visitors can explore notable attractions like the Egyptian Museum, considered the second most important in the world, Italy's unique Cinema Museum, and the Automobile Museum, all of which have undergone recent renovations. Turin also offers over 200 kilometers of cycling paths along its four rivers and throughout the city, making it an ideal destination for cyclists.
The route is mostly flat. Starting from Turin, you cycle along the Po River and its smaller tributaries, following cycle paths and quiet roads that lead toward the foothills. Along the way, you’ll reach Stupinigi Hunting Lodge, a royal residence of the Savoy family and a stunning rococo masterpiece by architect Filippo Juvarra. Continuing through parks and along riverbanks, you’ll arrive in Pinerolo. This charming medieval town, known for once hosting one of Italy's most esteemed cavalry schools, offers a delightful setting for an overnight stay.
The route remains flat as you cycle along country roads through scenic orchards and vineyards, eventually reaching Cavour, notable for its distinctive 'Rocca' - a morainic hill rising unexpectedly from the plains and now a protected area. The day concludes with an overnight stay in Saluzzo, a medieval town renowned for its abundant fruit production, especially kiwis that are exported worldwide.
Today’s route is of moderate ease, covering 63–69 km, with gentle inclines after Fossano. Along the way, you can visit the charming castles of Manta and Costigliole, as well as the ancient Roman town of Benevagienna and its archaeological site. The journey ends in either Cherasco, a town with seven centuries of history and art, or Bra, famed as a gourmet destination and the birthplace of the 'Slow Food' movement.
Today's ride is moderate to easy, covering 39–45 km or 55–61 km, taking you into the heart of the Langhe region. In Pollenzo—once the Roman town of Pollentia—you’ll visit the University of Gastronomic Sciences and enjoy a wine tasting. From there, cycle along the Tanaro River on a flat route, with a short climb mid-route to reach Barolo, famous for its wine. You also have the option to explore the scenic hills. The day ends with an overnight stay in Alba, known for its white truffles and historic tower houses.
Today’s route is moderate to easy, covering 45–55 km through the picturesque Roero area. Along the way, you’ll pass the castles of Guarene and Cisterna. The first part of the ride follows the Tanaro River, after which you can choose to continue along the river or take a more scenic path through the hills. The day concludes in Asti, a historic town renowned for its sparkling white wine, spumante, and its famous Palio, an annual horse race with deep historical roots.
Today’s ride takes you over the picturesque hills of Monferrato toward Moncalvo, where you’ll be treated to stunning views of the landscape. In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at your hotel in a quaint village nestled in the Monferrato hills, where you can unwind by the outdoor pool or extend your bike tour with a 14 km round-trip to the town of Casale. The route is of medium difficulty.
Departure from Terruggia
Show dayThe tour ends after breakfast. For those wishing to return to Turin, a private minibus is available. Alternatively, guests heading to Casale to catch a train can arrange a private taxi through the hotel.

My wife and I rode from Prague to Dresden from June 13-18. Europe Bike Tours made the trip fantastic. From the orientation meeting to the detailed maps, instructions and written guides, everything was clear and we felt totally confident taking on the ride. We loved the cost included the bikes, and the fact that the bikes came with painniers, helmets and a repair kit (which we never needed)....15 Jul

Finished Elbe Trail Bike Cycle offered by Europe Bike Tours with my group of friends. We biked from source of the River Elbe following the river across Czechia and then flowing to Germany ended up in Dresden. Trip exceeded our expectation. All cities, historical and natural beauty sites where we stopped along the way were excellent. We enjoyed stopping in every, even little towns, all of them are beautifully renovated. We liked many outdoor restaurants along the trail where we stopped for meal or refreshments. Sadly there are so many sites to see long the Elbe River that we had to be selective and choose only some!
Excellent organization by the Europe Bike Tours, attentive management and supportive staff! Thank you Lukas and all!
