Just outside of Turin, heading south, find the roads leading through the famous hills of Roero and Langhe (stages included in this FAM as day tours) with their views of vineyards and castles. Wine Regions and cuisine, greenery and history, this territory preserves the most authentic and genuine Piedmontese identity. North of the capital, towards Switzerland, the mountains are reflected in the setting of Lake D’Orta and Lake Maggiore, creating a timeless atmosphere: the tranquillity and relaxation, even during periods tourist high season! The whole region is surrounded by the Alps, a natural border and ideal for those who love winter sports and walking outdoors.
