From harsh peaks to the charming, romantic atmosphere of the lakes, through the hills between the Alps and the great Po valley, Piemonte has much to offer. The beautiful scenery of mountains like Monviso, Gran Paradiso or Monte Rosa, is ideal for winter skiing and summer trekking. Piemonte’s noble past is visible in the castles and sanctuaries to be found amidst the beautiful hilly landscapes, but also expressed in vineyards that have, for centuries, created a harmonious geometry and produced many wines of great prestige. The Po river has its source in Piemonte and the region is crossed by several Alpine streams flowing into the Po. Many Alpine lakes dot the region and, in the eastern part, are the larger lakes of Lago Maggiore and Lago d'Orta.
