This route allows you to reach Canove di Govone and access the Roero area without encountering traffic, following pleasant secondary roads.

The bike route that passes through Alba, Vaccheria, Guarene, Cornale, Magliano Alfieri, and Canove di Govone, taking quiet back roads at the foot of the hills, offers a journey through the rural calm of the Roero and Langhe regions. It is characterized by gentle landscapes and authentic atmospheres, far from the busiest roads. Here’s a description of the route and what you can see along the way:

1. Alba

The starting point is the lively town of Alba, the heart of the Langhe and famous for its white truffle and wine. Leaving behind the historic center with its medieval towers, you head out into the countryside—after crossing the dreaded bridge over the Tanaro, which is not bike-friendly. But don't worry—you'll survive.

2. Vaccheria (hamlet of Guarene)

After crossing the Tanaro River, you reach Vaccheria, a rural area that retains the authentic character of agricultural life. The landscape opens up into wide cultivated fields and quiet country roads, with views that gradually rise toward the hills of Guarene.

3. Guarene

You cycle along the base of the hill, with your gaze drawn upward to the majestic castle of Guarene, perched at the top. Though you stay in the valley, you still enjoy beautiful views of this elegant hilltop village, surrounded by terraced vineyards and neatly kept gardens.

4. Cornale

Continuing eastward, you reach Cornale, a tiny hamlet nestled among the fields, where peace and quiet reign. The secondary roads through this area are lined with rows of trees, natural hedgerows, and the occasional old farmhouse.

5. Magliano Alfieri

The route winds at the base of Magliano Alfieri, a village dominated from above by its Baroque castle. Although you don't climb up to the village itself, the elegant architecture of the castle stands out, framed by hills covered with vineyards and hazelnut groves.

6. Canove di Govone

The final stop before returning is Canove, a small hamlet that preserves the simple and authentic atmosphere of the Roero, with low-traffic roads and open views of the Tanaro valley. From here, you can catch sight of Govone, another hilltop village with a Savoy castle, visible in the distance.
