What is Bike&Food?

Bike&Food is an experience created especially for bicycles and food lovers. Two of Italy's great cultural heritages.

An itinerary for travelers who want to explore the secrets of a region where nature flourishes and artisanal producers thrive

​

We'll cycle in groups, guided by professionals on secondary roads and cycle routes, on assisted bikes or regular bikes depending on our physical fitness.


Each day we will visit producers, taste local delicacies and get to know the majestic lakes and mountains of northern Piedmont.

about
the territory

Lakes and Mountains of Northern Piedmont

​

Between culture, landscape and gastronomy, it's hard to define the main reason to visit this region. Around lakes Maggiore and Orta, elegance can be found in palaces, botanical gardens and sophisticated hospitality.

 

The mountains of Val D'Ossola, meanwhile, preserve medieval villages, traditional grazing, vineyards cultivated for generations and the wild Val Grande National Park offers contact with something more primitive and authentic. 

​

This region has become a great destination for those who love cycling. These majestic mountains and valleys are home to the main producers for those who like to eat well. We are in the region of excellent gastronomy, with award-winning restaurants, famous for Nebbiolo wines, Bettelmat and Gorgonzola cheeses, Porcini mushroom sausages and Risotto.

about Mergozzo

Mergozzo


A charming town of colorful houses, churches, chapels and staircases built with local stone. A 7-minute walk along the lakefront leads to the main square, a place for events, meetings and a majestic historic tree: a 500-year-old elm.

​

The lake with the same name, is about four kilometers long and two kilometers wide. Its pristine waters have led it to be classified as the cleanest in Italy. A reserve for migratory birds, a place for triathlons, canoeing and ideal for for swimming and paddling in our SUp.
