The nerve centre is the city of Pinerolo, an important commercial and tourist pole, renowned for its tradition linked to the Cavalry, for its numerous museums and for its charming historic centre.
Pinerolo is also known for its flourishing craft activities and excellent food and wine, making the area a must-see destination for those who appreciate local culture and authentic flavours.
The valleys that branch off from the Pinerolo plain, each with its own peculiarities, offer a wide range of attractions.
