Day 3 – The Hills and Castles of Piedmont on a Bike Tour
Meals included: breakfast
After breakfast, pedal to the hills and castles south of Alba, where the average elevation gets higher to leave behind the vineyards of Barolo. The Piedmont & Barolo Bike Tour today takes you to the so-called Alta Langa hills, with breathtaking views over the Piedmont region. On a sunny day, the view spans from the southern peaks of the Alps bordering France to the Matterhorn! The hills and castles of Piedmont unravel as the bike tour arrives at villages like Serralunga d’Alba, Roddino, and Albaretto Torre, just to mention a few. Take a break for lunch on your own in one of the rustic osteria or maybe go for a lighter meal in a local café. Continue your bike tour in Piedmont descending the winding roads through hazelnut orchards and hardier vegetation, all the way back to the wine region of Barolo. Return to your hotel and enjoy the exceptional food of Piedmont for dinner at your discretion. Maybe you can indulge in truffle-infused dishes, local cheeses, or authentic Italian pizza in quaint restaurants.
