PIEMONTE TRAVEL INFORMATION AND TOURISM SUGGESTIONS
Lake Maggiore and the smaller Lake D'Orta are the premier visitor destinations in Piemonte and they include the towns of Stresa, Baveno and Lesa.
Alba and Asti come next for the truffles and wine of course, but are in fact part of a larger enogastronomic zone which links these two cities with much more picturesque localities such as La Morra, Bra, Barolo, Barbaresco and Monforte d'Alba all the way to the Monferrato.
Torino or Turin took the opportunity of the Winter Olympics in 2006 to reinvent its post industrial image and is more than worth a short break.
West towards the Alps and the main ski resorts are overlooked historical gems such as the Sacra of San Michele in Avigliana.
The rest of the region remains to be discovered. For example Dogliani and Murazzano are fabulous cheese making zones in the south towards the Liguria border.
And just before that border is Montezemolo and the precipitous motorway to the coast. Not for the faint hearted.
With perhaps a special mention to Ivrea and its annual orange throwing festival, the Upper Po Valley and Biella, the Manchester of Italy!

If all roads lead to Rome, then all Alpine passes lead to Cuneo in this part of Piemonte. The Valley of the River Stura stretches from the gates of Cuneo at Borgo S.Dalmazzo to Argentera beneath the Colle della Maddalena. It is a real valley in the…Last modified on 02 August 2012
