This trip takes you to the home of gour­mets — in addi­ti­on to varied hikes through pic­tures­que hil­ly land­scapes, many culina­ry moments await you here. Famous wines such as Baro­lo, Bar­ba­res­co and the Ita­li­an cham­pa­gne from Canel­li are on the pro­gram, as is a truff­le hunt. The Lang­he as a cul­tu­ral land­scape is a UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site.

Sun­day: The cathe­drals of wine and Ita­ly’s cham­pa­gne in Canelli
Distanz: 12 km Höhe (+): 450m Höhe (-): 450m
Tra­vel by pri­va­te coach to Cas­si­nas­co, a slee­py vil­la­ge with magni­fi­cent views over the wild Bor­mi­da Val­ley. This unspoilt land­scape offers a con­trast to the well-orde­red viney­ards of the Lang­he. It is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by old trade rou­tes and tells of an eventful past with its medieval monas­te­ries, Sara­cen towers and migh­ty fort­res­ses. Your hike takes you along scenic paths through the Bor­mi­da Val­ley to Monas­te­ro Bor­mi­da, a vil­la­ge stee­ped in histo­ry that grew up around an impo­sing monas­tery com­plex and a medieval bridge. The rou­te con­ti­nues to Bubbio with its striking fort­ress and past a pic­tures­que­ly situa­ted pil­grimage church, which offers a swee­ping view over the val­ley. On the way, enjoy a small lunch with regio­nal spe­cial­ties. In the after­noon, you will head to Canel­li. This lively town is not only famous for its Mos­ca­to dAs­ti, but abo­ve all for its cathe­drals of wine (Unesco World Heri­ta­ge Site): under­ground vaults, up to 20 kilo­me­ters long, dug deep into the tufa and offe­ring per­fect con­di­ti­ons for Ita­li­an cham­pa­gne. In a tra­di­tio­nal winery, you will expe­ri­ence a gui­ded tour and then a tasting of this fine spar­k­ling wine with bot­t­le fer­men­ta­ti­on. Din­ner is free. 
Day 3
Mon­day: Barbaresco
Distanz: 10 km Höhe (+): 400m Höhe (-): 400m
This hike takes you through the beau­tiful wine land­scape of the Bar­ba­res­co wine-gro­wing regi­on, very clo­se to your hotel. After break­fast, the bus will take you to the pic­tures­que vil­la­ge of Nei­ve, one of the most beau­tiful vil­la­ges in Ita­ly. Here, bet­ween rol­ling hills and end­less viney­ards, you start your hike, which takes you past well-ten­ded rows of vines and old farms and offers impres­si­ve views of the cast­les of the Roe­ro and the Tan­a­ro val­ley. After around an hour and a half, you will reach the his­to­ric vil­la­ge of Bar­ba­res­co. Here you have time to stroll through the small alley­ways, per­haps climb the famous tower and let your gaze wan­der over the sur­roun­ding viney­ards. You then con­ti­nue your hike and arri­ve at the Mon­ta­ri­bal­di winery. During an exclu­si­ve gui­ded tour, you will immer­se yours­elf in the world of Bar­ba­res­co: you will visit the cel­lar, learn more about the tra­di­tio­nal pro­duc­tion pro­cess and tas­te the ele­gant wines of the house, espe­ci­al­ly the Bar­ba­res­co, which is con­side­red one of the best in the regi­on and is app­re­cia­ted for its fine aro­mas and gre­at elegance. 
Day 4
Tues­day: Baro­lo in the heart of the Lang­he and the king of wines
Distanz: 7 km Höhe (+): 100m Höhe (-): 450m
Today you will expe­ri­ence one of the high­lights of your Pied­mont hiking tour: you will head to La Mor­ra, which is per­ched on top of a hill and is known as the bal­c­o­ny of the Lang­he. From here, you can enjoy a breath­ta­king pan­o­r­amic view over the vine-cover­ed hills, which stretch like a green mosaic to the white peaks of the Alps. The old town of La Mor­ra with its nar­row streets, his­to­ric churches and small cafés invi­tes you to lin­ger — a per­fect start to the day. Your hike takes you along the famous Baro­lo trail through the regi­on’s most beau­tiful viney­ards. You walk past pic­tures­que ham­lets, old farms and well-ten­ded rows of vines. New views of the maje­s­tic cast­les and the small vil­la­ges that lie like islands in the midd­le of the viney­ards open up again and again — this is the typi­cal Lang­he land­scape, which has been a UNESCO World Heri­ta­ge Site sin­ce 2014. A visit to the Veglio winery awaits you in the after­noon. Here you will expe­ri­ence the world of Baro­lo: during a gui­ded tour of the cel­lar, you will learn more about the phi­lo­so­phy of the wine­ma­king fami­ly, who have been working with gre­at care and accor­ding to orga­nic prin­ci­ples for gene­ra­ti­ons. Of cour­se, you will tas­te the fine wines — a plea­su­re that reflects the soul of Pied­mont. At the end of the day, you reach the small, char­ming vil­la­ge of Baro­lo. The impo­sing cast­le, once the seat of the Fal­let­ti fami­ly, towers over the vil­la­ge and is now home to the renow­ned WiMu wine muse­um and the Eno­te­ca Regio­na­le. Here, the histo­ry of Baro­lo comes to life and you can soak up the spe­cial atmo­sphe­re of this legen­da­ry wine village. 
Day 5
Wed­nes­day: Dol­ce far nien­te a day at leisure
Distanz: 0 km Höhe (+): 0m Höhe (-): 0m
Today you have the day com­ple­te­ly at lei­su­re, ide­al for expe­ri­en­cing Pied­mont as you wish. If you fan­cy an excur­si­on, you can visit the ele­gant city of Turin: Magni­fi­cent squa­res, impres­si­ve muse­ums and the spe­cial flair of the Pied­mon­te­se capi­tal await you here. Natu­re lovers may be drawn to the near­by Alpi­ne val­leys, whe­re you can dis­co­ver impres­si­ve moun­tain land­scapes and char­ming vil­la­ges — per­fect for a short hike or sim­ply to mar­vel and enjoy. For tho­se who like to get hands-on, a coo­king cour­se at a local agri­tu­ris­mo is a gre­at opti­on: Here you will learn how to prepa­re tra­di­tio­nal dis­hes such as taja­rin, agno­lot­ti or bonet — a real high­light for con­nois­seurs. If you pre­fer a more rela­xed pace, enjoy a walk through the sur­roun­ding viney­ards or sim­ply unwind by the pool at your hotel — a real tre­at, espe­ci­al­ly on sun­ny days. This makes the day the per­fect com­ple­ment to your hiking tour in Pied­mont. Din­ner is also free. 
Day 6
The Roe­ro regi­on and its wines
Distanz: 14 km Höhe (+): 300m Höhe (-): 300m
Today you will dis­co­ver the Roe­ro, an area that lies north of the Lang­he on the other side of the River Tan­a­ro and boasts a varied land­scape. Dra­ma­tic rock for­ma­ti­ons, in which fos­sils are often found, alter­na­te with den­se forests, anci­ent cast­les and pic­tures­que viney­ards. The Roe­ro is not only known for its wines, but also for its fruit gro­wing: The aro­ma­tic pea­ches in par­ti­cu­lar enjoy an excel­lent repu­ta­ti­on throug­hout Ita­ly. Your hike starts in San­to Ste­fa­no Roe­ro and takes you along beau­tiful paths through the cha­rac­te­ristic hil­ly land­scape. A par­ti­cu­lar high­light is a visit to one of the lar­gest chest­nut trees in Ita­ly, an awe-inspi­ring giant that has shaped the land­scape for cen­tu­ries. From here we head to the small vil­la­ge of Mon­teu. The old fort­ress, which towers on a hill abo­ve the vil­la­ge, tells of the regi­on’s long histo­ry. A spe­cial tre­at awaits you in the after­noon: you will visit the Negro winery, a renow­ned fami­ly busi­ness that is one of the best wine pro­du­cers in the Roe­ro. Here you will tas­te the fresh, ele­gant Roe­ro Arn­eis and some fine Nebbiolos. 
Day 7
Fri­day: Truf­fles the gold of the Langhe
Distanz: 8 km Höhe (+): 150m Höhe (-): 150m
Today ever­y­thing revol­ves around one of Pied­mon­t’s most exclu­si­ve deli­ca­ci­es: the truf­fles of Alba. Tog­e­ther with an expe­ri­en­ced tartu­faio and his dog, you will embark on an exci­ting truff­le hunt in the hazel­nut gro­ves of the Lang­he. During the appro­xi­m­ate­ly two-hour trek, you will learn what is important when sear­ching for the cove­ted tubers, why they are so rare and what makes them so spe­cial. The pri­ces for white truf­fles fluc­tua­te every year and often reach seve­ral hundred euros per 100 grams — a real gold of the Lang­he. After a suc­cessful search, enjoy small snacks with truf­fles (black or sum­mer truf­fles) accom­pa­nied by a glass of regio­nal wine in the pic­tures­que vil­la­ge of Rod­di. Rod­di is known for its uni­ver­si­ty of truff­le dogs, which you will also get to know. In the after­noon, Fabri­zio invi­tes us on a short tour of the town of Alba. The town is not only the cen­ter of the truff­le trade, but also famous for its spe­cial­ty stores, whe­re you can buy Pied­mon­te­se deli­ca­ci­es to take home to your hear­t’s content.

Fabri­zio is also a pas­sio­na­te wine con­nois­seur and works in the fami­ly busi­ness that pro­du­ces Baro­lo and other red wines from the Lang­he. Last but not least, he is also poli­ti­cal­ly acti­ve and is com­mit­ted to pro­tec­ting the envi­ron­ment, among other things.
