As its name suggests, Piedmont is a region in northern Italy located "at the foot of the mountains" of the Alps, a stone's throw from Valle d'Aosta and Lombardy. Between majestic mountains, picturesque valleys and great plains, Piedmont offers you a varied cocktail of prestigious settings. Renowned for its ski resorts, it is the ideal place for winter sports enthusiasts. In summer, you will discover a variety of landscapes: rice fields, lakes and natural parks whose fauna and flora will certainly seduce you. In terms of architecture, do not miss visiting the wonders of Turin - its capital -, Meina, Alba or Ivrea - from ancient abbeys and churches, to castles, historical residences and their superb gardens.
