Our guide for tourism, but think for the tourist, among Langhe Roero Monferrato.

First, let’s solve the question: Where is the Langhe located? The Langhe are in Piedmont. They are located between the provinces of Cuneo and Asti—the Langhe borders and merge with Monferrato and Roero. The Langhe is rolling hills and also rivers: Tanaro, Belbo, Bormida di Millesimo, and Bormida di Spigno.

LANGHE ROERO MONFERRATO: A TERRITORY WITH 3 SOULS

A few brief mentions that will give you an idea of the differences between the territories:

In 2014, the wine-growing landscape of Langhe Monferrato and Roero was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since then, tourism has been increasing and getting better and better organized, but without losing authenticity, there is the possibility of still discovering many places of tourist guides and having unique experiences.

This is an area with many faces: that of nature for outdoor experiences, that of history and culture with interesting and surprising visits, and, of course, that of food and wine with extraordinary dishes and wines that cannot leave one indifferent.

Discovering the territory

We at SlowDays have three ways to discover the area: First, the food and wine of the Langhe, then with an inviting proposal of hikes and walking itineraries, and for those who are looking for some original ideas, our proposals to experience Langhe Roero Monferrato by Ebike or riding a beautiful Vespa.

The three proposals often blend into each other. In fact, pleasant stops are almost a must during a walking or cycling tour, just as visiting wineries in the Langhe can be a worthy interlude to visits to castles, villages, and churches.

Langhe itineraries: Tourism for quality time

Tourism has experienced a significant boost in the Langhe for several years. Shrewd policies aimed at preserving the land and beautifying the vineyards have created vistas photographed by tourists worldwide. Carefully maintained villages have become cozy living rooms. Tourists have flocked to Alba, the capital of the Langhe, for the various events that take place throughout the year. But Bra, too, with the SlowFood movement, takes center stage at many times of the year.

Langhe and Roero grow close together and transparently exchange tourists: cross the Tanaro River, and you will constantly change areas.

Langhe and Monferrato seem, even to the eyes of those who live there, to be two more “distinct” areas. Slightly different traditions create wonderful nuances that discerning tourists can recognize and appreciate.

Choose this territory for your vacation!

This guide aims to stimulate those who have heard of these areas and entice them to spend a vacation discovering these lands, which are apparently somewhat “closed” but capable of great generosity in offering themselves to the visitor’s eyes.

Piedmont, a region rich in history and culture, also has many landscapes. In addition to landscapes, you will find traditions and good food. The landscapes, in every season, will amaze you with their colors and atmosphere. If you love nature and good living, I recommend visiting this area. I open my notes for your next trip to Langhe Roero Monferrato.
