The Bikes
You can’t enjoy a great biking trip without a really great bike. On this trip, you’ll be riding a local e-bike that provides electric assistance whenever you want it. We also equip you with a handlebar bag, helmet, and water bottle.

Our B&R guides are with you throughout, anticipating needs, translating languages, providing advice and—above all—facilitating fun.
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain with a few small hills—all very manageable for people trying their first biking trip.
Walking – 6-10 km (4-6 mi.) a day on country lanes, footpaths and coastal or forest trails, all on relatively flat terrain, perhaps with an occasional hill.
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces. Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest.
Biking – Roughly 50 km (30 mi.) a day in consistently rolling countryside, with repeated climbs and longer options available.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) over terrain that varies between rolling and hilly, with a few steeper climbs.
Biking – 50-60 km (30-45 mi.) a day over both level and tougher, hillier terrain with multiple 100 km (62 mi.) options. The routes are designed for avid cyclists and include plenty of chances to push yourself.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated.
Famed for its truffles, and with town names like Barolo and Barbaresco, it’s easy to understand why Piemonte is a gourmand’s paradise. In fact, many argue that the region produces the best food in all of Italy. As with most places whose livelihood is so closely tied to the land, the people here are down-to-earth (pardon the pun), and the countryside as beautiful as it is bountiful. Your journey through the gentle hills and peaceful river valleys of the Roero, Langhe and Monferrato will feature medieval towns, endless vineyards, and sweeping vistas.
*Although this is an e-biking trip, elite road bikes can also be made available. Inquire at time of booking.

B&R travel is seamless. The pre-trip informational packet was amazing, the guides were awesome, the food was delicious, the wine was flowing and our fellow riders were great! We loved our experience and would definitely return to ride skinny tires with your company again.
— Julianne MajorThe outfitters’ six-day biking or walking excursion through the birthplace of the Slow Food movement features visits to nougat-makers, beekeepers, vintners and three or four Michelin-starrred restaurants. First-time biker? Stick to the walking tour. Even with just a glass (or two) of Barolo on board, the hills are a challenge.
DeparturesYou begin with two days of gently rolling riding in the Roero, then encounter more up and down routes in the Langhe hills. The climbs are not steep, but can be on the long side. Daily distances are generally short, ranging from 31 to 54 km (19 to 33 mi.), with daily options for more riding up to a metric century ride. We focus our routes on sparsely trafficked roads, with wonderful scenery and your support van is at hand to assist.
