Piedmont Star – ‘Grande’ Single Centre

The circular rides

We offer a choice of 5 circular routes with distances between 23 and 37 miles (35 to 60 kms), with each ride carefully planned to make sure you see the best of the area and that you travel the distance you are most comfortable with.

You can go with the flow of your energy levels southwards along the Dora Baltea river to the clear waters of Lake Candia, then enjoy superb vineyard views from the top of the Moraine hills, returning to Romano Canavese via the ‘Strada Reale dei Vini’ – the Royal Wine Route. Head up to the imposing castle towers of Ivrea and its little lakes, following the Franciscan pilgrimage route homeward or pick your way through kiwi and peach plantations on the return from Lake Viverone. The 9th century Castello Pavone is worth the climb and Pavone village, set on its rocky slopes offers Piedmontese Baroque at its finest.

We think you’ll want to gear up and enjoy the cafés and culture of Turin too, so let the train take the strain and enjoy the pedal back along the Po river, then past some impressive castles and the charming small town of Chivasso.

All of the routes offer excellent cycling and there are plenty of opportunities to stop for refreshments.
