It starts from the capital Torino , city must see and with so many activities to do. The symbol of Turin is the Mole , but among majestic squares, museums (the famous Egyptian), baroque palaces, historic cafes ... there's so much to visit. Turin was also the first Italian capital, which adds further charm to the city, and the Savoy holds in the area are among the most beautiful places to see in Piedmont.
leaving the capital, an itinerary in Piedmont usually leads to three possible destinations: the Alps, the Langhe, or lake Maggiore .

In the Alps there are renowned ski resorts such as Sestrière , Limone and Bardonecchia , but the practically pristine landscapes also abound in which to make trips of one or more days, from the valleys of the cuneo sector to the Gran Paradiso until the Val d'Ossola and at the massif of Monte Rosa ( If you like trekking, be challenging and quiet, read below things to do in Piedmont). In fact, as a length of the alpine arch and variety of mountain landscapes, Piedmont is indeed the most impressive region of Italy.

In the valleys, some historical fortifications are also stand out, including the most impressive is perhaps that of Fenestrelle , compared to the Chinese wall at times.
Langhe are famous for characteristic countries and delicious wines, as in Famous Barolo . The truffle of alba is another delicacy, unfortunately very expensive. In the southern part of Piedmont, among the countries to be seen in addition to those already mentioned, there are also Asti, Bra (in the area of hills of the Roero ), Acqui Terme, Gavi ... and many others, for those who have more time for your itinerary, or for more out-of-tour trips.
