Visita al Monferrato
Monferrato: a territory surrounded by nature, for a taste of art with the art of taste
Just an hour drive from Milan, Turin and Genoa and a little farther from the French and Swiss borders, Monferrato represents one of the most enchanting territories of Piedmont, extending between the Alps and the Ligurian Sea. A landscape of soft hills, mostly untouched in its original features, that combines historical testimonies, fascinating cities and small villages dominated by castles, rich of excellent wines and boasting one of the best popular cuisine traditions.
Among routes and paths winding through the green valleys to be crossed slowly and with a careful eye, many are the opportunities to enjoy this territory, such as hiking, bike excursions and visits to the famous “infernot”, the typical cellars dug in turf to extract the Cantone stone used to build the ancient houses. Spring and summer are the best seasons for those who wish to discover the harmonious landscapes and practice open-air sports. Fall and winter, instead, are the favored months for spa lovers or gourmets who combine refined wines to better appreciate the renowned “fruits” of this land: truffles, mushrooms, chestnuts, hazelnuts.
