It’s a perfect itinerary for lovers of e-biking, slow tourism, and authentic experiences that blend nature, history, and local food culture.

Leaving Cortemilia, the trail climbs towards Serole, a small village surrounded by woods and hazelnut groves, where the peaceful landscape invites you to slow down and enjoy the silence. From Serole, the route continues to Roccaverano, the highest village in the Province of Asti, famous for its medieval panoramic tower and the renowned Robiola di Roccaverano DOP cheese. A stop here is a must, to taste local specialties and take in breathtaking views of the surrounding hills.

The path then descends into the Bormida Valley, arriving in Monastero Bormida, a village with monastic origins, dominated by a majestic Benedictine castle and a medieval stone bridge, one of the most striking in the area. The historical atmosphere and riverside landscape make this stretch especially charming.

From Monastero, the route continues to Bubbio, known for its well-preserved historic center, stone alleys, and artisan workshops, and then on to Cessole, nestled among vineyards and hazelnut groves, in a landscape that captures the true essence of the Alta Langa.

The loop concludes by returning to Cortemilia, completing a bike tour that brings together nature, heritage, and local gastronomy. Perfect for a day trip on an e-bike or as part of a sustainable weekend in Piedmont, this route offers unforgettable moments in a unique and still-undiscovered territory.
