Treasure Hunt in Oltrepò Pavese

Following the success achieved during the first edition of "Treasure Hunt", that in April last year enhanced different places of tourist importance in the territory of Lomellina, the Chamber of Commerce of Pavia, through its Special PAVIASVILUPPO Company, intends to carry out a second edition of this touring exhibition of the treasures that characterize the province.
For the year 2013 it was decided to implement the project in Oltrepò Pavese, an area of ​​great charm and wealth, not only from the point of view of history, culture and landscape, but also on the front of wine and food.

The goal of the initiative is once again bringing to the attention of the audience of visitors treasures of precious cultural and natural beauty of this area, creating thematic circuits that link culture, territory and local specialties in paths that you can follow in autonomy with own car or by motorcycle, or in minibus with guides. All the stages of the routes can be visited from 10:00 am to 18:00 pm and guides will be available to provide all the necessary information about the places and the treasure hunt ...
Lovers of travel, tourism, food and wine, but also families with children and young people are the perfect target for this event.
