We are in the Province of Torino.
The area is an undiscovered Tuscany as far as riding goes, in fact it’s better, probably because it’s on our door step & cheaper in comparison to the more touristic Toscana. Within a 2 hour ride you can be in the Alps. There are some fantastic climbs that are really worth making the extra effort to do. However, we-re mostly satisfied with the local hills of Monferrato, Langhe & colline Torinese.
We’ve lived here for over 5 years now and know you don’t have to spend a lot to enjoy good food and drink. Just 5€ at our local pizzeria for a tasty Margherita and with just 1,30€ / litre you can buy the locally produced Freisa wine at our cooperative cantina!
The climate is ideal for riding thanks to the 450N latitude.
We have many different experiences to offer. Be it places to go, ride, eat & drink, just take it all in. Well, as those of you who have been to Italy will know, it’s great for all these things. If you like your bike riding flat, hilly or mountainous, we’ve got it all here in Piemonte.
With your experienced English - Italian speaking guide you will enjoy the breathtaking scenery on offer in the surrounding areas, you’ll be thrilled to be on your bike.

What is special about Italian Clarion is the local knowledge of riding routes and unique food and accommodation experiences ensuring you have a memorable trip.
Good food is simple, such is Italian cuisine, buonissimo. For example, one evening enjoy a feast prepared at an agriturismo with wines from a neighbouring vineyard, and on another evening stay in a basilica with unrivalled views across Turin.
