The Province of Cuneo sits at the southern end of Piedmont, in northwestern Italy, and it is the largest province in the region. Its landscape moves between two very different worlds: the high peaks of the Maritime Alps to the south and west, and the rolling hills of the Langhe to the north and east.
Mountains and hilltop villages
In the Alps, the province offers a setting for outdoor life, with ski resorts that draw winter sports enthusiasts to its slopes and mountain routes for walkers and climbers in the warmer months. Medieval castles stand above many of the hilltop villages, giving the towns a strong sense of history and a view over the surrounding valleys.
The Langhe and its table
The Langhe hills are known for truffles, hazelnuts and Barolo wine, and the food is the main reason many visitors come back. Small trattorias, wine cellars and local producers make the region easy to explore slowly, one village at a time, with a glass in hand and a meal planned around what the land produces.
Who the province suits
- Visitors who want both mountain walks or skiing and a gentler countryside break in the same trip.
- Travellers interested in medieval castles and small hilltop towns.
- Food and wine lovers keen on truffles, hazelnuts and Barolo.
As a gateway, the province works well as a base: from here you can move between alpine adventures in one day and a long lunch among the vineyards the next.
