Rolling hills, soft breezes, intense sun around harvest time, the entire Langhe is a treasure. Its curving roads deliver one scenery after another, with medieval castles, classic churches, cozy restaurants and lively wine bars. No wonder UNESCO listed the entire region as a patrimony of mankind. The region needs to be explored slowly: drive leisurely or ride a bike, or, if that is your style, hike. There are hundreds of hostels and B&Bs, hotels ranging from the inexpensive to the luxurious, and a similarly broad range of dining options. But you visit because of the wines. Arneis, Favorita, Cortese and the enormous flexibility of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato offer you an endless selection of wines for all tastes.

The Valle Vigezzo is a beatiful Valley with an entrance in Italy and another in Switzerland. It is a fantastic place both in summer than in Winter. In summer there is a lovery cycling/walking road in the woods that connects most of the villages. The same road in the winter months is a perfect crosscountry ring. From the valley it is possible with a cable-car to reach La Piana where downhill skiing is possible. In the valley there are many chaming villages. The altitude is not very high and many vegetation is present, so also in the very hot summer days it is possible to find a spot in the shadow.
