A delightful 4-day family cycling loop through Piedmont's royal heritage. Ride safe cycle paths from Torino to Venaria's grand palace, across the vast Mandria park, past the medieval lakeside town of Avigliana, and back via the baroque Stupinigi hunting lodge and the scenic Po riverbank.

Tour Program

Day 1 – Arrival in Torino – City ride to Venaria (12 km)
