WELCOME TO PIEDMONT

We here at Raggiungere wish to welcome you to Piedmont, a land that is still somewhat neglected by most tourist itineraries, but that offers many opportunities for the curious and discriminating traveller.
Our land is rich in hillsides and vineyards, lakes, mountains, cities of art, and historical monasteries.
The 2006 Winter Olympic Games were held here, in the Piedmontese Alps.
Here is the heartland of wines that are famous worldwide, like Barolo and Barbaresco.
Here, in 1861, the nation of Italy as we know it today was born: Torino was the first capital of Italy, even before Florence and Rome.
Here you can find splendid harmonious contrasts of Italy's artistic past and present: Roman remains, Medieval castles, and Baroque palaces are the settings for important collections of contemporary art and innovative structures with a view towards the future. Our first-hand knowledge of the territory, our love for our homeland, the attention paid to details, and our appreciation of beauty allow us to propose itineraries that are highly personalized and designed to meet the client's specific needs.
In particular, we have designed walking tours in various zones of our region that invite you to slow-down and discover an Italy seldom seen with standard tours. Tours that give you the opportunity to taste fine wines and cuisine while getting to know the local population, who may at first seem reticent, but who are actually brimming with stories waiting to be told.
In addition to our walking tours, we also propose itineraries to a more traditional and exclusive Piedmont, as guests to historical sites that are normally closed to the general public, with curious visits to the workshops of traditional craftsmen and the discovery of hidden and surprisingly charming corners of this region.
