Langhe with the Wolf
The Langhe is a mixture of hills and vineyards that alternate with castles and historic villages connected by roads that rise and fall embracing a unique landscape. Perfect place for a autumn cycling holiday.

The spectacular cycling tour to this almost hidden landmark known as Chianti, was reason enough to visit Tuscany. The panoramic roads that wind throughout the hills of Chianti and Elsa valley hold many surprises. I came back with a new awareness, I must arrange another trip and choose other paths, because in this region there is so much to see, so much to discover.
How long does it take us to reach the sea, well it depends on where we leave from! I wanted to do a coast-to-coast trip but the time was short and the desire to arrive a lot. From Piacenza to the Sea, through the Trebbia Valley, Scoglina pass, Forcella pass and then between the jagged coasts of Levante’s Liguria.

This tour started with a text from a friend: “Andiamo in Svizzera a fare 4 passi?” which is basically what we did!
Now that I’ve been there I should say that I’m sorry it was only the option B for the weekend, in-fact my first plan was taking me to Bolzano, and then I would have climbed Stelvio, however the weather forecast was so dreadful that I decided for a plan B which brought me in Abruzzo and now I’m glad it did because I liked it more than I thought.
This is the post related to the most emotional experience I have ever had climbing a mountain. Don’t miss it! 😉
This summer I had planned a kind of social distancing tour of the Alps. I designed carefully all details dayContinue Reading
