Fun in the snow
Snowshoeing in the woods, but also skiing or snowboarding at the Pian del Poggio ski complex in the municipality of Santa Margherita Staffora or on the Penice Pass. In the Oltrepò Montano, the snow offers evocative landscapes where you can have fun and spend a day in the open air, including snowmobile tours and romantic rides on horseback.

From the ancient fair of San Martino in Godiasco, to the Christmas markets in the medieval village of Bagnaria, to the historical carnival of Varzi. Events for all tastes to keep an eye out for with a calendar in hand.
Tasting flavours
Oltrepò Pavese is rich in eno-gastronomic traditions. Strong and genuine flavours, perfect to warm up the winter days.
