Bergolo is a small village of 50 inhabitants located in the hills of Southern Piedmont in the province of Cuneo, Northern Italy. The village doesn’t have any shops, but here you can find our lovely bar Parole Perdute and the welcoming restaurant l'Bunet. It is the ideal place for diving in nature and disconnecting from busy city life. Bergolo has a long tradition of music, art, and, in general, cultural festivals and since 2018 hosts regularly youth exchanges and trainings organized by different youth organizations.

Cortemilia is the main center of the local area of Alta Langa with a population of 2300 people. It is located 8 km far from Bergolo. It is noted for the production of one of the most famous types of hazelnut, the Tonda Gentile di Langa, awarded IGP status. Every August the town celebrates the Sagra della Nocciola (hazelnut fair). In Cortemilia there are bars, pubs, supermarkets, shops, banks, gas stations, and public buses to the cities of Alba, Asti, and Savona.

Alba is the closest city, with a population of around 30.000 people. Our volunteers like to spend time there when they miss the urban dimension. Vagamondo cooperates with the info youth office of Alba to inform young people about European opportunities.​ The city hosts the headquarter of Ferrero company and an important international truffle festival. It is located 45 minutes by car from Bergolo.

The Bormida Valley develops along the course of the Bormida river and connects the Alps to the Apennine mountain range. The Bormida valley connects the regions of Piedmont and Liguria, embracing the provinces of Cuneo, Savona, Asti and Alessandria.

The Langhe is a hilly area in the northwest of Italy famous for its wines, cheeses, hazelnuts and truffles - particularly the white truffles of Alba.

In 2014 Langhe area was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage list for its cultural landscapes, an outstanding living testimony to wine growing and winemaking traditions that stem from a long history.
