Between Walks, History, and Nature
September 2025 will be a special opportunity to discover Govone in all its facets: from the village streets to natural views, up to the Royal Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Two initiatives, promoted by Govone Residenza Sabauda ETS in collaboration with local institutions and organizations, will take the public on a journey through culture, landscape, and traditions.
Royal Community Tour – September 6 and 13
A guided itinerary to immerse yourself in the beauty of the village of Govone, in collaboration with Ente Turismo Langhe Monferrato Roero and the Consortium of the Royal Residences of Savoy.
The visit starts from the Castle Park, continues with the panoramic view from the rose garden, and includes the Church of the Holy Spirit – which hosts the artwork La Vita by Creativamente Roero – the Parish Church, and finally the Royal Castle of Govone, a Savoy residence and UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

Royal Walk – September 21
An event designed for those who love experiencing the landscape by walking, part of the larger project “The Ways of the Kings” of the Consortium of the Royal Residences of Savoy.
The Ways of the Kings, through their Royal Walks, pursue the goal of enhancing the system of the 16 Savoy Residences of Piedmont by creating and promoting a “walk” to discover the Residences themselves and the surrounding areas in a new, attentive, and mindful way, combining values of culture, nature, well-being, physical activity, and sustainability.
Starting and ending at the Royal Castle of Govone, the Royal Walk offers two loop routes through vineyards and hills:
- 15 km (350 m elevation gain) – start at 8:30 AM
- 8 km (180 m elevation gain) – start at 9:00 AM
The experience is enriched by refreshment points along the route and a symbolic “traveler’s kit.” Upon arrival, the traditional dessert bonet will welcome participants, along with the opportunity for a convivial meal in the Castle Park with ravioli del plin and wine prepared by the Pro Loco of Govone.
By completing the walk, participants will receive the stamp on the Royal Passport, which grants reduced admission to the Castle of Govone until November 9, 2025.
