Holiday in Piedmont - holiday „at the foot of the mountains“
Holiday apartments, holiday houses and
hotels
Piedmont is the northwesternmost region of Italy. In the north, in
the alpine region, it borders on Switzerland and in the west on
France. As in the north of Piedmont the summits of the Alps soar up to
over 4,000 m, it becomes quite flat in the south in the area of the Po
Valley.
From the tourist’s point of view are especially the following
contrasting areas in the Piedmont interesting:
-
Lake Maggiore,
one of the popular Upper Italian lakes, partly belongs to the region
of Piedmont and offers to the holidaymakers a perfect symbiosis of
water and mountains. The same applies to the small Lake Orta, which
lies somewhat to the west of Lake Maggiore.
- The landscape in the hilly area southeast of Piedmont, called
Langhe, is probably best known to gourmets. Its largest town, Alba, is
known as the Italian truffle capital. Also the wines from this area,
Barolo, Barbera and Barbaresco, are world-famous.
- But also in the Alps the Piedmont has to offer interesting holiday
destinations. Sestriere is a well-known winter sports place, located
close to the French border. The place became famous at the latest in
the year 2006, when with the Olympic Winter Games of Turin the ski
competitions were hold in Sestriere.
The
Aosta Valley
belongs only geographically to the Piedmont, politically however it
has a special status as autonomous region. The magnificent nature
sceneries of Mont Blanc and Monte Rosa as well as the Gran Paradiso
National Park promise a unique mountain experience for hikers,
mountain climbers and climbers. Particularly in winter the well-known
ski areas attract numerous winter sportsmen near Courmayeur, La
Thuile, Pila, Cervinia (connection to the ski area of
Zermatt/Switzerland) and Monterosa.
Even though the holiday regions are very different in the Piedmont,
even though they have one thing in common: A large choice of
accommodations for everybody’s taste is everywhere available. Choose
