Welcoming tasty food
Even in the white silence of nature and discovery amidst valleys and villages, the food and wine of
Piedmont is second to none. Great alpine cheeses accompany the star of the mountain, polenta:
from Toma di Oropa and Lanzo to Maccagno; from Blu del Moncenisio to Bettelmatt from the Walser valleys of Ossola to Castelmagno; from Robiola of the hills to Gorgonzola of the plains. And then there are traditional dishes such as first courses based on mountain potatoes: cajettes from the upper Val di Susa, ravioles from the Cuneo Occitan valleys, soupa barbëtta from the Waldensian valleys, paniccia from Macugnaga, mortadella from Ossola, and game. Local products are used in desserts and biscuits: Focaccia di Susa, canestrelli, gofri and miacce, chestnut cakes and paste di meliga corn biscuits. The perfect pairings are the "heroic" mountain wines, originating from extreme vineyards and now rediscovered: Avanà, Becuet, Baratuciat, Ramiè and the mysterious ice wine.
Past masterpieces and the artistic avant-garde
In Piedmont you can marvel at the UNESCO-listed Baroque architectural masterpieces, the villages
and lively cities of art at any time of the year. Discover villas, castles and gardens and the
widespread wealth of contemporary art. Winter here is packed with exhibitions and museums,
Christmas events and, not to be missed, the famous Luci d'Artista in Turin until 8 January 2023.
Regenerating slowness
Winter is the ideal time for reconnecting with yourself. In Piedmont, you can walk in the footsteps
of spirituality and history on the paths of the Sacri Monti (Sacred Mountains) or the Via Francigena
trails, the Shroud and Romanesque routes or the Jewish art itineraries; the Alta Via dei Walser or
the path of the Glorious Repatriation of the Waldensians.
