ACTIVITIES
TRUFFLE HUNT
Known all over the world, the tuber magnatum pico (white truffle of Alba) is a precious underground fungus that is found only in very few areas of Italy. One of these is the territory of Langa, Roero and Monferrato. We can reserve you a unique experience, in the woods near the resort, accompanied by expert "trifulau" where you can participate, preceded by their dog, in the hunt for truffles.
BIKE & E-BIKE
Discover the territory by cycling along the Unesco heritage paths, up and down the hills through characteristic towns and villages. With e-bikes the climbs will no longer be an obstacle, but pleasant and manageable for everyone. Sports enthusiasts can book Mountain Bikes or road bikes, maps and information on the routes are available for everyone.
THE LEGENDARY VESPA
A timeless icon, the most famous two-wheeler in the world. Rent the legendary Vespa for a tour in the Langhe. Upon reservation, we organize daily or half-day tours, with the possibility of visits to places of particular interest, tastings and a guide who will inform you about the beauties of the area.
HOT AIR BALLOON FLIGHTS

We can book you an expert guide of the territory, but also suggestive night walks with theatrical animations, botanical and wildlife insights, moonlight stories, music and tastings. For all the paths there is a map and a GPS track, with indication of the points of greatest interest, route, walking times, difficulty and lots of useful information.
HORSES AND GOLF
The world of horse riding at your fingertips. A deep passion that is based on the friendship between man and horse. You can book activities in the nearby riding stables for beginners and for those who have experience, organize outdoor excursions to live in direct contact with nature, walking through the woods and meadows of Roero.
Piedmont is also a land of golf, with more than 15 clubs with 18 holes, some of which are among the best in Italy, made with respect for the morphology of the land, offering different courses ideal for both the most experienced and for beginners.
VISITS TO THE WINERY
The Langhe, Roero and Monferrato area is certainly one of the most renowned territories in the world for the production of great wines.

TEAM BUILDING
Many useful and fun activities, but also educational, for groups can be carried out in the park of the Madernassa Resort or in the countryside that surrounds it. Experiences living in contact with nature, to develop orientation skills, manage variables and unforeseen events. Moments in the garden to recognize or guess the name of aromatic herbs and their use. A day in the vineyard with the winemaker to answer questions about the different production techniques, but also fun sessions with the sommelier who organizes blind tastings to discover the label under the covered bottles
