Cycle tourism in Langa<\/strong> is no longer a niche for enthusiasts: today it is one of the most popular ways to discover the area.<\/p>\n\n

This is confirmed by Giovanni Chiera<\/strong>, a Piedmont Region cycling guide and founder of Granda Bike Tour<\/em>, who has been observing the evolution of this phenomenon closely for years.<\/p>\n\n

In the last two years, he says, growth<\/strong> has been “double-digit,” with an increase exceeding 10\u201312% on a national basis, which is even more marked in Langa<\/strong>, Monferrato<\/strong>, and Roero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Cycle tourism, in fact, has become accessible to a much wider audience<\/strong>: families, groups of friends, people who aren’t particularly fit, but also expert cyclists looking for multi-day itineraries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Gravel<\/strong>, in particular, is exploding: simple but long routes<\/strong>, gravel roads, 2 to 5-day stages, panniers, and self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n\n

A way of traveling that appeals especially to the Northern European public<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
