Our Hiking Tours in Piedmont

Piedmont is an appealing destination throughout the year.

For our walking holidays in Piedmont, we generally recommend spring and autumn, when the landscapes are at their most colourful and visitor numbers are lower.

These seasons are especially rewarding in the Barolo wine region, where vineyards and rolling hills create some of the area's most iconic scenery.

Piedmont offers an impressive variety of landscapes.

From the vineyards of the Langhe and Barolo regions to the peaks of Val Maira, from the Sanctuary of Oropa to the views over Lake Viverone along the Via Francigena, every route reveals a different side of the region.

If you need advice, our team is here to help you choose the itinerary that suits you best.

If you've found a Piedmont walking holiday that matches what you're looking for, there are two ways to book.

1. Send us an email at info@sloways.eu or call us on (+39) 0552340736. We'll ask for a few details about your trip, including your preferred travel dates, the number of travellers, and any special requests.

2. Use our online calculator, available on every tour page, to receive a provisional price. If you're happy with the estimate, send us a request and we'll proceed with checking availability and confirming the booking.

We provide accommodation in B&Bs, farmhouses, and 3-star hotels, all with private bedrooms and private bathrooms.

These properties combine comfort with authenticity, helping you enjoy a genuine walking holiday experience in Piedmont.

All our Piedmont holidays are self-guided.

There are no organised groups or accompanying guides. Instead, you walk independently using the detailed route documentation prepared by our travel specialists.

We take care of all the logistics, including accommodation bookings and luggage transfers, allowing you to enjoy the journey at your own pace.

Piedmont is well connected from across Europe.

Turin Caselle Airport is the region's main gateway, with direct flights from many European cities. Milan Malpensa Airport, around 90 minutes away, is often a convenient alternative for international travellers.

By train, Alba, the starting point for our Barolo and Barbaresco routes, can be reached from Turin in around 90 minutes. Biella, the gateway to the Cammino di Oropa, is directly connected to Turin, while Cuneo is the most convenient access point for Val Maira.

Your travel documentation includes detailed arrival instructions and local transport information tailored to your itinerary.

In most of our Piedmont walking holidays, luggage transfer from one accommodation to the next is included in the price.

Each morning you set off with a light daypack while your main luggage is transferred to your next accommodation.

Some mountain routes, particularly in Val Maira, include sections that are not accessible by vehicles. In these cases, we clearly explain what to expect before you book.

Every tour page includes a detailed list of what is and is not included in the package.

The best route depends on the type of experience you're looking for.

• Cammino di Oropa is often our first recommendation for people trying a multi-day walking holiday for the first time. Stages are relatively short, the terrain is accessible, and the pilgrimage atmosphere adds meaning to the journey.

• Barolo and Barbaresco (Langhe) is ideal if you're passionate about food, wine, and vineyard landscapes. Expect gentle walking, historic villages, excellent cuisine, and charming countryside accommodation.

• Val Maira is suited to walkers looking for a more remote mountain experience, with Alpine scenery, Occitan culture, and very few crowds. A good level of fitness is recommended.

• Val Chisone and Val Germanasca offers a mountain experience comparable to Val Maira, combined with a fascinating Waldensian heritage and lesser-known landscapes.

If you're unsure which route is right for you, our team will be happy to help you choose based on your experience, fitness level, and travel dates.
