Description

A special journey to discover Pinerolo, featuring artisan shops, great food, and cultural attractions!

  • A unique historic center: Pinerolo is famous for its medieval center, which is closely tied to French history. For over a century, it was home to an important military riding school. Don’t miss a visit to the National Museum of the Cavalry.
  • The Fenestrelle Fortress: A must-see! It is the largest fortress in Europe and the longest masonry structure in the world after the Great Wall of China. This enormous stone structure winds its way for 5 kilometers through the Chisone Valley, with an elevation gain of nearly 700 meters.
  • Local Food and Wine: During the tour, there will be delicious stops to sample local products at the Dellerba winery, the Giro di Vite farm, and the delicacies from Agroalimenta.
