Overview
Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 5 Day Walking Piedmont and the Barolo Wine Region. Get those legs moving across the ridiculously scenic Italian region of Piedmont on this five-day hiking adventure. Starting and ending in Turin, conquer the Alps as you make your way through vineyards, local villages, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and (*pause for dramatic effect*) the hometown of Nutella.
Itinerary
Arrive at any time. Tonight, meet your CEO and fellow travellers at the welcome meeting, then opt to head out for dinner with the group.
Take a CEO-led orientation walk of Turin's elegant city centre and try to spot Italy's most iconic car, the Fiat, in its hometown. Enjoy free time to explore the city's baroque piazzas, porticos and cafes. This afternoon, take a train to Asti then continue to the village of Alice Bel Colle, our charming base in the Piedmont region. (B)
Discover the villages, country roads and gently rolling hills of the Monferrato, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its unique vineyard landscape. Hike the Monferrato Hills and take in the spectacular scenery. Stop by a winery for a tour of their cellar and enjoy a delicious lunch paired with the region's best-known wines. (B/L)
Travel to the Barolo region, where viticulture is a way of life and locals still produce one of Italy's most famous wines in much the same way they have for centuries. From the hilltop village of La Morra, hike along quaint country paths to Barolo. Continue to Alba and stroll through the Piedmont's unofficial culinary capital — truffles are a local treat you shouldn't miss! (B)
Head back to Turin via Asti. This tour ends on arrival at the Turin train station at approximately 11:30am. (B)

- On this trip you can expect to stay in small family-run hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. You can expect to find clean, safe, simple accommodation in convenient locations.
- Note that most accommodation in Europe does not have air conditioning units in rooms. Air conditioning is not routinely installed in European homes and workplaces. However, nearly all hotels will provide a standing or desk fan for your room on hot nights. If you do not already have one in your room, please ask your CEO to organize one for you with reception.
