The Piedmont region is vast. There are a wide variety of things to do and see here. You can go skiing at Sestriere and Bardonecchia - two excellent resorts, or experience the beauty of the Langhe regions - an area of great cultural and natural interest. The city of Turin is an absolute must. Well known for its spectacular art and fascinating history, it's also a great place to chill out, unwind and relax. Don't forget to try the local wine called Barolo.
