Holiday apartment in Serravalle Langhe: culture, cuisine and trails

The Oratorio di S. Michele in Serravalle Langhe is documented as early as the 13th century. A ribbed vault preserves precious 15th-century paintings from the Monregalese school. The time span brings architectural history and painting together in a specific place. Inside, the ribbed vault and the paintings of the Monregalese school thus come together.

Traces of local history

Serravalle Langhe developed around a castle, of which remnants of some foundations and a well are still visible. The Palazzo Marchionale is a 17th-century building on the central square of Serravalle Langhe. The visible castle remains and the Palazzo Marchionale show two different sides of the town's history.

Regional products and tastings

At the Salone Espositivo Enogastronomico, tastings feature products grown in the Serravalle Langhe area. The Spazio Espositivo per Prodotti Enogastronomici displays honey, truffles, mushrooms, chestnuts and hazelnuts. The tasting and exhibition therefore offer two different focuses on regional products.

Hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking

Serravalle Langhe offers trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. On GTL Stage 09A from Serravalle Langhe to Cerretto Langhe, the trail leads into a north-facing forest rich in chestnut and beech trees. The range therefore extends from several types of activities to a distinctive forest section.

Stage 4 of the Bar to Bar route climbs from Località Pratonoero to the state road at the entrance to Serravalle Langhe. In Serravalle Langhe, the trail runs from Piazza del Municipio via Via Baudana and then along Via Monte Vacca. At the Rio Inferno, the stage leads between sandstone walls into a deep, muddy gorge that must be traversed with great caution. The route therefore extends from the climb at the town entrance through the local streets to the gorge at the Rio Inferno.

Those interested in culture will find historic buildings and art alongside routes through forests, local streets and a gorge.
