Carbon Neutral Trip
In Piemonte, even the hills take their time—rolling gently past vineyards, truffle forests, and villages that seem handpicked by UNESCO. Pedal through sparkling wine country, feast like royalty in the home of Slow Food, and sip Barolo where it’s born. With intimate stays and views that demand lingering, this is biking–and B&R–at its best.
Pedal magnificent cycling routes that weave through hills draped with vineyards, serene river valleys and quiet medieval villages.
Preview the itinerary
No two trips are ever the same, but this will give you a taste of what your journey will be like.
Day 1
Cycle into the riverside town of Rocchette Tanaro for a classic trattoria lunch. We’ll continue through the countryside, conquering one last memorable climb and descent before we reach our peaceful villa. This evening, we'll be joined by a sommelier for an unforgettable wine tasting, followed by dinner in a charming private restaurant.
Activity:
49 km (30 mi.) rolling ride via Rocchetta Tanaro with a challenging, optional final climb | Elevation gain: 619 m (2,030 ft.)
Day 2
Discover Monferrato on bike today cycling through curvaceous vineyards with mountain peak views. We'll stop in Mombaruzzo for lunch at a lovely small production winery, then we'll join a cooking class hosted by a local chef and learn how to make fresh pasta.
Activity:
43 km (27 mi.) loop ride to Cassine and Mombaruzzo | Elevation gain: 576 m (886 ft.)
Day 3
Roll along on a spectacular ride into the Alta Langa, passing villages, vineyards, forests and hazelnut groves on our way to our favourite lunch spot. Embark on a “champions climb” before a magnificent descent into Barolo Langhe. Spend the rest of the afternoon unwinding at the pool before dinner at the hotel’s creative restaurant.
