\"\"<\/a>Way at the top of Italy is the Piedmont region. With more in common with Italy\u2019s northern neighbors than many of the more famous southern regions, the Piedmont region of Italy is home to a variety of activities and locations that are varied and an excellent way to gain a new flavor of this ancient land.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mount Mombarone<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in the mountain ranges of Northern Italy, the Piedmont area is home to Mount Mombarone. Hike up this mountain and you\u2019ll find beautiful views over the region as well as the true beauty of the Italian mountain side. In the winter months, this is an area where you\u2019d find snow skiing and other winter activities that the entire family can enjoy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Monte Rosa Animal Reserve<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to experience the beauty of the Piedmont region in a bit more gradual terms, take a three hour stroll through the Monte Rosa Animal Reserve. Here, you\u2019ll be able to see untouched natural settings in this region of Italy as well as the animals that would naturally find this region home. Walk through the reserve and you\u2019ll find sheep, deer, beaver and eagles making the mountains their home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sere d\u2019Estate Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

If nature needs to be balanced with culture as part of your trip, the Sere d\u2019Estate Festival is an internationally well-known music festival that takes place in Turin. A summer festival, the Sere d\u2019Estate starts every year in June and stretches into August, making it a welcome backdrop to your outdoor adventures in this, the most popular, season of travel in Italy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wine Tasting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, for the cultured and wine drinking patrons of the Piedmont area, you can experience some of the mountain wines in either Castelleto d\u2019Orba or at the Barolo Fair. In March, the Also Monferrato holds an annual wine festival. If you\u2019d rather travel in the fall, you can still catch a wine tasting fair, Barolo Fair, held in September.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Via Lagrange<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along with its nearby neighbor Via Carlo Alberto, Via Lagrange is a street well-known for high end wares. The two streets are lined with extraordinary boutiques and other clothing stores. Browse through these wares and you\u2019ll find one-of-a-kind Italian treasures from any number of designers and specialists. If shopping isn\u2019t your favorite activity in a mountain area, you can just sit back and enjoy the view from almost any bench or piazza in the city as this is one of the loveliest areas in Italy for scenery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
