Incredibile tour a piedi di 4 giorni e ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo Incredibile tour a piedi di 4 giorni organizzato da Claudia e dal suo team: cosa possiamo dire ma perfetto dall'inizio alla fine. Le passeggiate tra i vigneti e in cima alle colline erano fantastiche, lo scenario era incredibile, il nostro alloggio a La Morra era perfetto perché non dovevamo spostare le valigie ogni giorno, i nostri trasferimenti all'inizio e alla fine delle nostre passeggiate ogni giorno erano fluidi, confortevoli e sempre puntuali . Anche i tour aggiuntivi del castello e della torre con pranzi locali inclusi sono stati un'esperienza fantastica. 10/10 a tutti i soggetti coinvolti: grazie a tutti i fornitori e torneremo presto.

Trekking around Serralunga Castle is an intriguing experience that allows you to experience history and scenery and taste it all day. This tour is a genuine surprise, an opportunity to uncover the secrets of one of the most beautiful medieval castles in the Langhe.

We love this tour because:

What makes this tour so unique? First, you can visit Serralunga Castle with expert guides. This is undoubtedly a significant added value because you can delve into the history of this imposing structure. The guides will lead you through the corridors and historic rooms, where you can admire ancient frescoes and discover architectural details that tell its long and fascinating story.

The castle visit lasts approximately 45 minutes, just the right amount of time to appreciate the castle. It’s a comprehensive experience, but it won’t be the only one of the day.

One of Serralunga Castle’s main attractions is the panoramic view. From its windows, especially from the top of the tower, you can enjoy a spectacular view that embraces the surrounding countryside and extends to the majestic Alps. The feeling of being on top of the world is truly indescribable.

The history of Serralunga Castle dates back to the 12th century when it was built as a defensive structure.

Its central tower and mighty stone walls tell stories of brave knights, feudal lords, and epic battles nearby. Every corner of the castle recalls medieval life, and as you explore it, you can live and hear the voices of the past.

But there’s more. This tour emphasizes not only the castle but also its surroundings. Serralunga is located in the renowned Langhe of the Barolo region, famous worldwide for its prized wine, known as the “King of Wines.” You can enjoy a stroll through the vineyards, immersing yourself in the beauty of this hilly landscape.

Why is Serralunga so famous, and how does its name connect to Barolo wines?

The answer lies in this region’s rich winemaking tradition. The Langhe vineyards are famous for producing some of Italy’s best wines, including the celebrated Barolo. Serralunga is one of the municipalities involved in this tradition. The vines that grace the hills around the castle are integral to the region’s wine history.

In conclusion, the Serralunga d’Alba and its Castle Walking Tour offer a well-rounded experience: history, culture, breathtaking landscapes, and gastronomic pleasures. It’s a journey through time and flavors that will leave you with unforgettable memories of the Langhe of Barolo and the magnificent Serralunga Castle.
