Discover Tigliole: Hiking, Wildlife and Art

Tigliole combines varied trails with art and history. Those who choose a holiday apartment in Tigliole can plan their days between circular hikes, a visit to the wildlife centre and cultural discoveries. The distinctive features of the town lie not only in individual sights, but also in the variety of possible activities.

Hiking with different route profiles

Tigliole has several circular hiking routes established by the town hall, ranging from 6 to 21 kilometres in length. Another notable link between physical activity and local history is the Cammino Romanico Tigliole: it starts at the town hall car park and leads to the parish church of San Lorenzo. The Percorso Giallo circular route runs along paved roads, unpaved roads and trails. Different route lengths and surfaces help you adapt your hiking plans to your preferred daily rhythm, without implying any particular suitability or level of difficulty.

Experience nature and plan your journey

The Centro di Recupero della Fauna Selvatica in Tigliole, operated by the Asti section of LIPU, has guided visitor routes accompanied by volunteers and guides. Since 1997, the Centro Recupero Fauna Selvatica di Asti has been a centre for the rescue and rehabilitation of wild animals. The centre can be reached by private car or public transport; the San Damiano and Baldicheri railway stations are 2 kilometres from the centre. This makes it a practical focus for nature and wildlife observation when planning your day.

Art and history in the townscape

The site where the Palazzo Comunale now stands was once occupied by the fortress of Tigliole. In the parish church of Santi Giovanni e Lorenzo, the ceiling was decorated with frescoes by Paolo Gaidano in 1892. Tigliole town hall also houses a permanent exhibition of contemporary art featuring works by 24 artists. These artists had previously exhibited in the Romanesque church of San Lorenzo and donated the works for the exhibition. Another historical connection leads to the Santuario della Madonnina di Vulgo Scapenzo, which was rebuilt after an older church in Caspedengo was destroyed at the end of the 18th century.

Choose a holiday apartment according to your own plans

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Tigliole, the routes and cultural sites documented locally can provide useful guidance for your planning. For active days, the circular routes ranging from 6 to 21 kilometres, the Percorso Giallo and the Cammino Romanico Tigliole are the main options. Those who prefer to focus on art and local history will find several different themes in the Palazzo Comunale, the town hall exhibition, the churches and the Santuario. On Sunday, 25 May 2025, the Proloco of Tigliole organised hikes ranging from 5 to 30 kilometres as part of A Spasso per Tigliole; at that time, the event had been held for nine years. This past event adds to the picture of the local hiking opportunities without implying that it is taking place today.
