You can find a big parking free of charge opposite to the Castelli Hotel (corso Torino), just on the town entrance.

  1. Hello,
    I am the manager of Norwegian famous metal band, SATYRICON. Our singer is also a famous winemaker – and makes Barolo and Langhe Rosso in Piemonte.

    We are currently on tour in Europe and want spend a day off on our way to Rome in Alba. We travel with a big bus and this bus needs to park and get power (16A) somewhere in Alba.

    We will arrive the morning of FRIDAY the16th of MARCH – and leave late at night.

    Can you help us with this? Thank you very much.

    With best regards,
