Cycling Tours in Piedmont

Piedmont (or Piemonte) means foot of the mountains and it's here against a spectacular backdrop of the Alps that you'll discover a land shaped by world-famous vineyards, historic towns, locally produced gourmet cuisine and the slow food movement. The cycling in Piedmont is simply sublime with beautiful rolling green hills, snaking tarmac and endless views of vineyards, medieval castles and distant snow-capped peaks.

Cycling in Piedmont

Piedmont may not have the same worldwide recognition as a cycling destination as other regions of Italy but it does have a proud cycling heritage of its own and, as a cyclist, you’ll be made to feel very welcome here. Many great riders hail from Piedmont, none more legendary than Fausto Coppi, the 'Campionissimo' (Champion of Champions), World Champion, five-time Giro d’Italia winner, and two-time Tour de France champion. You don’t have to be a pro racer to enjoy the cycling here though! The lush rolling hills appeal to riders of all levels and the smooth winding asphalt roads snaking through the countryside are often quiet, perfect for cycling. This lush region of northern Italy is often overlooked but there are some stand out reasons why you'll absolutely want to visit Piedmont for your next cycling holiday.
