The North West Italy / Piedmont/Lake Maggiore region
There are so many reasons to visit the Piemonte Region. Here a holiday becomes a sequence of trips: first through the hills of the Canavese, exploring castles and towers, sanctuaries and abbeys, royal residences and parks. Then through the Olympic Mountains, magnificent when covered in snow, amongst the ski resorts that hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Then the “Città di Charme” (charming historical towns), on the path of colours and flavours, wandering amongst the precious vineyards of the Monferrato and the Langhe, skirting the lake district with its Sacri Monti (the mountain sanctuaries), purchasing some the many wonderful traditional luxuries offered by the region. Places, impressions and activities become experiences that will delight every visitor and where the only aim is to spoil yourself.
In Rollieres and his neighbourhood: you will find the right holiday for you! Alpine pastures, lakes high up in the mountains, rock faces, woods and marshy areas with the typical bird life found in wetlands: there are many faces of nature in the Piedmont mountain area, which includes within it six nature parks and various other protected areas.
Thousands of years of people passing through and its strategic position have left a huge variety of historical evidence all over Piedmont mountain area, starting from prehistoric times, to the Romans, then to the castles of the Acaja and Savoy families, and the evocative remains of the Via Francigena with the Sacra di San Michele and Novalesa Abbey.
There are also cultural and historical traces of the federation of the Escartons and the heroic exploits of the Waldensians, and also powerful military fortifications, the first and foremost of these being Fenestrelle and Exilles. To complete this very broad panorama of cultural resources in the Olympic Mountains, there are sites of industrial archaeology, mining and stone quarrying to visit, and many museums of history and ethnography.
Rollieres / Sauze di Cesana area
These mountains, where skiing first started in Italy over a century ago, offer a total sporting and leisure experience in all seasons of the year. In winter, there is obviously lots of downhill skiing and snowboarding, but there is also cross country and cross country trekking, tracks for snowshoe walks and ski alpinism itineraries in a fabulous setting of unspoiled, natural surroundings.
Same exaple of local Activities: Sestriere golf course: 18 Hole - Par 66 - Length 4955 m. at 2035 m. above sea level. Wine and food . Rich, ancient flavours enclosed within the area between the plain and the high mountains - this is the unique, well-kept secret of the cuisine of the Montagnedoc area.
It offers a trail that, even before discovering its food and wine, takes you on a journey through cultures and traditions, among natural surroundings that are at times generous and at times harsh, through the produce of agriculture and vineyards, of cattle-breeding and sheep-rearing, and of skilful food processing.

Further details outdoors: The Borgata di Rollieres, fraction of the municipality of Sauze di Cesana, is situated on two sides of the medioevale road . A stroll around the chalets and lanes of an old village built of stone and wood, or on a footpath that leads to a lake or a memorable panorama; a game of golf on the green, surrounded by the greenery of the forests: the mountains in this area offer a host of pleasant, relaxing experiences.
Those who wish to enjoy a peaceful holiday can choose less strenuous pursuits, such as a mountain bike ride on one of the easier trails, a game of tennis or an afternoon in the swimming pool. And in between these activities, you can enjoy a few moments of absolute relaxation and pure beauty, lost in contemplation of the mountains: all you need is a pair of stout boots and a walking stick, and you are ready to set off in search of high alpine panoramas.
Then, as evening approaches, let the lights of the village and the chimney smoke guide you down to the stone buildings and wooden huts that preserve the atmosphere, charm and warmth of the true mountain.
There are a lot of different things to do in the mountains during the summer, including mountain-biking, golf, hang-gliding and paragliding. An ideal place to brave the rapids for an exciting river descent is the Sesia Valley, where it is possible to practise canoeing, rafting, hydrospeeding or canyoning, with varying levels of difficulty and in the company of specialised guides.
Rollieres finds its heads of force in a territory completely dipped in the nature and the warm spirit of acceptance of the population, proud to be the being Mountain People, closely tied to own traditions. Elements these characterizing of the sour-tourist offer that renders Rollieres of being a little one, but great and Common Mountain important, truly only and detail.
