About Piedmont
In the North West of Italy, Piedmont borders both France and Switzerland. It also borders four other Italian regions – Liguria to the south, the Aosta Valley to the north west and both Lombardy and Emilia Romagna in the east. It is the second largest of Italy’s twenty regions, the largest being Sicily in the very south. Piedmont is home to 56 national or regional parks, the most famous of which is probably the Gran Paradiso National Park. Its landscape is also very varied – approximately 43% of Piedmont is considered mountainous, 30% hilly and 26% plains.
Cities, towns and villages of Piedmont
The region’s capital is Turin, a city which incidentally was also once the capital of Italy. This city has much to recommend it to visitors, not least the world’s tallest museum – the Mole Antonelliana.
It’s also a city famous for its historic palaces which were once the official residences of Italy’s royalty. In fact, the residences of the Royal House of Savoy in Turin are collectively one of Italy’s UNESCO World Heritage sites. However, the history to be discovered in Turin dates much further back. There are Roman ruins to be discovered in the city. And the Cathedrale San Giovanni Battista is home to the famous Turin shroud.
Piedmont is also home to numerous other towns and cities worth visiting. Novara is a fascinating city with a rich history and many interesting attractions. Alessandria is a military city with a unique past. And Asti is famous the world over for its sparkling wine. Not only that, but Asti also hosts a palio each year to rival that of Siena. And there are plenty of smaller towns and villages too. Some of our favourites include Bra, Alba, Barolo, La Morra, Serralunga and Grinzane Cavour.
Things to do in Piedmont
In the winter, there are plenty of ski resorts in Piedmont, suitable for both novice and the most experienced of skiers. For perspective, many of the 2006 Winter Olympic events were held in the Via Lattea resort in Piedmont. Skiers can enjoy around 400 km of runs in total stretched across seven different resorts with a Via Lattea ski pass. And of course, these same resorts offer a multitude of outdoor activities in the warmer months too. Hikers will certainly love exploring Piedmont’s mountains and valleys.
Where there are mountains there are valleys and Piedmont boasts plenty of them. The valleys of Langhe, Roero and Monferrato are a food and wine lovers dream. This is the area of Piedmont famed for its white truffles, its sweet hazelnuts and chocolate production. Bra in Piedmont is the home of the Slow Food Movement whilst Alba hosts the International White Truffle Festival every October and November.
It’s also famous for the wine to wash it down with! Barolo is the most famous of the red wines produced in Piedmont but there is also Barbaresco and wines made with the Nebbiolo grape too. Famous whites include Gavi, Arneis and the sparkling Asti. Here, charming hilltop towns and castles are dotted between row upon row of vines and hazelnut trees.
Proof of Piedmont’s diverse landscape is the fact that the region is also home to most of Lake Maggiore. In fact, Lake Maggiore’s main town – Stresa – falls within Piedmont. This is the perfect base from which to visit the villas and gardens of the beautiful Borromean Islands. And neighbouring Lake Orta also falls exclusively into Piedmont. Quieter than Lake Maggiore, its main town – Orta San Giulio – is incredibly picturesque. Catch a boat from here for the short journey to the tiny island – Isola San Giulio.
When to visit Piedmont
Due to its location at the foot of the Alps, Piedmont can be as popular in the winter months as in the summer. Skiers will definitely want to head to the region in the colder months of the year. And keen walkers should time their visit in the Spring or Autumn when temperatures are not too hot. Incidentally, foodies should also make a bee-line for Piedmont in the Autumn too. This is harvest time so it’s the best opportunity to make the most of the incredible food and wine that the region is famous for. It’s also when you will be able to experience the world renowned White Truffle Festival in Alba. And of course, Summer is the perfect time to visit Piedmont if you’re looking to combine sightseeing with lazy days in the sunshine.
