North-West Italy which includes the regions of Piemonte, Liguria and Valle d’Aosta displays a huge variety of landscapes and natural environments inside a comparatively small area. Starting from the glacier covered peaks of the Valle d’Aosta and Northern Piemont, your itinerary will lead you to the shores of large lakes, vast agricultural plains, wine-growing hills of the Langhe and Monferrato and finally the coast of the Italian Riviera.
Italy’s North-West combines the industriuos and entrepreneurial spirit associated with Northern Europe with the Mediterranean’s exuberance and cheerfulness. It is an economically highly developed region thanks to the inventiveness of its inhabitants and its proximity to Europe’s main traffic routes, be it highways, high-speed railroads, airports and seaports. It possesses vibrant clusters of technological and manufacturing excellence alongside areas which preserve century-old agricultural traditions, giving rise to a unique food and wine making culture. As the birthplace of many outstanding figures, the region has left its mark on many pages in Europe’s and the world’s history
