With the exception of the sea, Piedmont is a showcase of virtually all possible landscapes.
Bounded by the massive curve of the Western Alps, the region has more mountains and hills than plains, which historically have always been richer and more densely populated. To the right of the River Po there are the hills of Monferrato, which in addition to its many castles also boasts truffles and fine vineyards, as in the Langhe and Astigiano areas.
The shores of the lakes in the alpine foothills, lined with the parks of old villas, complete the many tourist attractions of this region.
This means that cycling in Piedmont can be of great interest in terms of culture and the environment, but also for the region's excellent cuisine.

One of the most enjoyable areas for cycling, still little known, is that around Biella.

This is an area of mountain foothills that offers mixed routes suitable for all, surrounded by landscapes of exceptional beauty.

The panoramic road from Rosazza to Trivero, passing Bielmonte on the way, is considered to be one of the most attractive in Italy, winding along wild mountainsides amidst breathtaking views.
The Zegna Nature Reserve, opened in 1993; lies between Trivero and the Cervo Valley in the alps of Biella, always has something to offer in every season, both for holidays in the countryside or for weekend outings. Many of the 27 nature trails through the reserve, all well signposted, can be followed on mountain bikes, with a variety of difficulty suitable both for young amateurs and for expert bikers, with some particularly hard stretches. At Torre Pellice in the province of Turin, the mountain bike trails include the one that reaches Barbera and then the Barant Hill, descending to Pra and then Bobbio Pellice, returning finally to Torre Pellice. For road cyclists we recommend the exciting route of Torre Pellice - Pinerolo - Perosa Argentina - Prali and back.
