Trekking in Langhe Monferrato Roero:

a perfect territory to live in the slowest way, on foot!

Beautiful vineyards, shady woods, delightful villages to explore slowly. Wineries where you can stop for tasting the excellent wines of the Langa and Roero.

A day or an entire holiday to the rhythm of your own steps with our trekking in and around the Langhe.

The desire for outdoor excursions is undeniable! Trekking in the Langhe is undoubtedly a wonderful prospect! And maybe trekking in the Langhe has been a dream for a long time. Here I’ll give you some indications to choose which type of Langhe trekking is right for you!

Let’s start from the simplest experience of trekking in the Langhe that takes just over half a day, but that will certainly leave you with beautiful memories. A simple walk in the Langhe with an end in the cellar to taste the extraordinary wines of the Langhe. The reason to choose our hikes in the Langhe, which are real food and wine walks? You don’t have to wait for the date we will propose, but you can choose it! Our beautiful Langhe trekking tours are designed to be autonomous, with your family or your group of friends or maybe as a couple for a romantic walk in the Langhe. Our tracks to follow on your cell phone and a pair of boots will be enough!

Start again, from scratch. A trek in the Langhe to find ourselves

How many times have we told ourselves that we would do this? There are moments in our lives when we feel the pulsating need to renew ourselves, to start over, more aware, and stronger than before. Some decide to change their lives in a clear and decisive way, others decide to make those changes they have longed for at a slower but still effective pace because it is the pace we really feel is ours.
To start again, we at SlowDays propose walking in the Langhe and Roero: an activity as simple as it is important, to share with your family or friends or to live, why not, even simply in the company of yourself. Walking will help you make space between your thoughts, rediscover the most magical places in Piedmont and start again with that new positive energy that only uncontaminated nature like the Langhe and Roero can offer you.

Our proposals could also be defined as a food and wine walk in the Langhe since the wine is always present: you can observe the different stages of ripening of the grapes in the vineyard and it will be spontaneous to think about deepening in the cellar the magical world of wine, so our trekking in the Langhe becomes a real Wine trekking.

Did you know that in the Langhe there is a 140 km long ring-route that connects the Barbaresco area with the Barolo area passing through the Alta Langa?

We’ll let you in on a secret…this is one of the most beautiful and famous Langhe trekking routes, but we hadn’t done it entirely until May 2020! After the long months of lockdown, it seemed the perfect way to start again: nature is the best ally in these cases, and filling our eyes with so much beauty was therapeutic for us! That’s why we thought to formulate our proposal related to this wonderful itinerary in the Langhe.

Our route is slightly modified compared to the “official” one... we wanted to put our own to make it more feasible and so that the stages would all arrive in villages pleasant to visit.

We offer the service of the organization and luggage transfer as well as assistance for the whole itinerary in the Langhe.

You won’t need a map to walk the Langhe trails, we will send you the route with which you can follow the itinerary in the Langhe with your cell phone.

We have excellent hiking guides available for those who love to be told about the area by local people or we can follow you from a distance creating the route for you and putting it at your disposal on your cell phone. We organize experiences for families and groups.

WHY CHOOSE THE LANGHE WALKING ROUTES?

The Piedmontese Langhe and Roero are truly a wonderful area to explore on foot.

Traveling on foot is a new way of taking a vacation, one that is definitely sustainable and can give you a long-lasting feeling of well-being.

Why choose Langhe for your walking vacation?

How are Piedmont’s hilly itineraries different from those in other areas?

Let’s try to answer by points

• as the first reason we want to say that Langhe is wonderful, did we already told you that? Don’t trust anything we say, come and see for yourself! Well, if Unesco has decided to put the Langhe among “its” heritages and has done so because of its wine landscapes, there must be a reason!
• The Langhe is for everyone! There’s no denying it: in the mountains, trekking routes are tougher! Not that the Langhe and Roero are like walking on the plain, but the climbs are never prohibitive and are always followed by descents and flat stretches.
• The landscape is very varied! Do you think maybe there are only vineyards? You are wrong! Especially if you will decide to drive along the path that from the Langhe of Barbaresco, through Alta Langa, leads to the Langhe of Barolo, you will discover the variety of landscapes that characterize this beautiful hilly area of Piedmont. First vineyards, then woods, then little villages and castles, to go back again in the vineyards
• Do you like walks with few amenities? With overnight stays in hostels and shared rooms? Or maybe with a tent on your back? Very well, that’s fine! Oh God, here in the Langhe there are no hostels, but you can find some spartan accommodation. In this case, we recommend the area of Alta Langa. If, however, you are a lover of comfort and the idea of a shared bathroom or hostel doesn’t appeal to you, in the Langhe you can find complete satisfaction! Who said that trekking has to be “uncomfortable” and spartan? It’s fine to walk, but if in the evening you arrive at a welcoming structure, perhaps where you can have a swim in the pool, we believe there is nothing wrong with that. If you have someone to take care of your luggage while you comfortably devote yourself to your daily excursion, I’d say it’s the best way to combine physical activity and comfort!
• In the Langhe, the paths are quite well marked, not all of them of course. In any case, don’t worry: if you buy one of our packages we will study the paths in the Langhe for you and you can follow them on your cell phone, just like a navigator.
• I leave for last the most important reason in my opinion. We are not talking about walks in the Langhe or simple excursions, here we are talking about “Wine trekking Langhe“! Wine is the protagonist, even if you do not like to drink it (but are you sure?)…if you come in autumn your walk in the Langhe will be characterized by the scent of grapes still attached to the vines; if you come in spring the soft green of the vineyards with the background of towers and castles will be all to photograph…but above all, we are talking about wine trekking because, if you want, there will be visits to wineries with tasting to discover everything about the world of great wines of the Langhe, such as Barolo and Barbaresco but also Barbera. You will also find many white wines (for those you cannot miss a visit in the Roero area) and lately more and more frequent rose wines or bubbles. Of course, even the cooking is not less! It is known that appetite comes with walking…and in the evening dinner with a view of the Langhe can’t be taken away from you!

Do you already imagine yourself with your legs tired from the walk in Langhe, shower done, a terrace on the vineyards and a glass in your hand? Well then, our packages for walking vacations in Langhe are waiting for you!
