The Cuneo area is the ideal all-year destination for anyone who loves the mountains, skiers and ramblers alike. Cyclists too are welcome to spend time in the shadow of Monviso, admiring the beautiful views over the hills and exploring the historic villages, lively towns and the palaces of the Savoy dynasty such as Racconigi. But not to be forgotten are the area's culinary specialities: wines, cheeses, salamis and cooked meats, beef, mushrooms and Sambucano lamb - a paradise for those who adore good food.
