Piedmont beyond Turin and the great wineries: mountain villages in the Occitan and Walser valleys, towns of the lesser-known Langhe, secluded lakes and ancient paths through woods and vineyards. A land where mass tourism never arrives, made of village taverns, silent castles and living traditions to discover on foot, far from the crowds and the well-trodden circuits.

North of the crowded Langhe, on the other bank of the Tanaro, the Roero offers badlands, woods and Arneis wineries without the tourist crush of its more famous neighbours. A gravel loop made of short but savage climbs and silent ridges, in the province of Cuneo.

On the plain between Vercelli and Novara, the gravel embankments of the Cavour Canal cross flooded paddy fields that in spring become a vast mirror of water. A flat, silent landscape almost ignored by cycle tourism, where the effort is little and the wonder great.

In the upper Valsesia, at the foot of Monte Rosa, a route through the Walser hamlets of wood and stone tells the story of the ancient Germanic settlement of these high valleys. Far from the better-known ski resorts, it is a slow journey into authentic mountain country.
