About this experience
Ideal on hot summer days (we will touch 750 m altitude), this tour will climb through the vineyards of Barolo but touching "Alta Langa", famous for hazelnut cultivation. We will visit typical villages off the tourist routes, in an area yet to be discovered.
We will discover the main natural resources of the Langhe and you can taste hazelnut products, such as spreads and pastries, through one of the most beautiful scenic routes in the area that will surely leave you speechless!
Departing from Alba, the capital of the Langhe, the route is about 75/80 kilometers long and you will have a Pro Guide who will explain your surroundings so that you can better appreciate this beautiful region.
