Trekking in Italy

Walking is one of the best ways to appreciate Italian wonders. On this page you will find the links to the most beautiful excursions, region by region, from simple walks to the most franked trekking.

Trekking in Liguria

We have traveled all the Ligurian coast of Levante, from Genoa to La Spezia, admiring Portofino , le Cinque lands and lots of wonderful places less Famous. Find all the information and all the stages here: Paths in Liguria .
Among the most beautiful itineraries it stands out perhaps the Excursion from Riomaggiore to Portovenere Via Monesteroli , but also a less known path like the one between Campiglia, the perch and the reds is resounding. Then there are sestri levante , Santo stefano d'aveto , Recco . .. In short, there really is spoiled for choice!
along the Ligurian Riviera di Ponente stands out instead The panoramic path from Varigotti to Noli , full of interesting points.

Trekking in the maritime and cune Alps

The Alpine Arch offers an infinity of trails, and between Liguria and Piedmont there are spectacular mountains that watch the sea and long, idyllic valleys that are ideal destinations for trekking, for snowshoeing (ie walking with snowshoes) , for railways and for climbing (even on ice, for the most intrepid). Look here info for the Trekking in the beautiful fraft valley or for a Excursion on the snow on the Cima Gardiola . Around Cesana Torinese and Sestriere there are instead these Splendid hikes with snowshoes , beautiful even in summer.

Between Valle d'Aosta and Valdossola

Spectacular is also to walk in Valle d'Aosta , where trekking go to the highest mountains in Italy. In Champorcher you can do this amazing snowshoeing , perfect for a memorable day excursion. Around the Rifugio Arp, at Brusson, we suggest The trek by estoul a punta palasina while at this link Itinerary from the Arp Refuge in Punta Valfredda . Also on the paths of northern Piedmont, in the nearby Val d'Ossola, there is fun! For example, going to Snowship in Alpe Devero , the paradise of excursions on the snow.

Trekking in Lombardy

Different and enchanting are the numerous trails around the Lake Como , with the incredible views that can be enjoyed by the surrounding mountains, then going down with the paths to the picturesque villages on the lake. For example, try the comfortable Abbadia Lariana trails or le Snowspole at artavaggio plans .
on Lake Iseo It is very panoramic The high-pointed punto trekk Perhaps the snowshoeing for me more beautiful ever. Always in the Orobie Alps, fantastic snow-covered landscapes are the protagonists of this Trekking from carona to the calvi refuge
in the Oltrepò Pavese, you can walk between Varzi and the Calanchi of Nivione .

Trekking on Lake Garda

Divided between Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino, Lake Garda is a paradise for outdoor sports. Here are some suggested paths: - The overview climbed to Eremo di San Valentino and Cima Comer (Lombardy);
- The easy Walking lakefront between Lazise and Bardolino (in Veneto);
- The beautiful Ponale road , to do on foot or by bike (in Trentino);
- The panoramic balcony of the Monte altissimo , a peak on the garda (in Trentino);
- and some beautiful Excursion between Torbole and Riva del Garda (in Trentino);

Trekking in the Dolomites

Numerous and well-marked are the trekking on the Dolomites , which offer the most beautiful landscapes among the Alpine peaks of Italy (and not only). The three peaks of Lavaredo, the five towers, the five steps, the valleys and the mountains ... so many paths (and ski slopes!) Which is spoiled for choice.
At the moment I don't have pages Which describe itineraries here, but one of the most beautiful walks (not simple) I've ever done is that on the lagazuoi, with incredible views, caves in the mountain and war findings.

Trekking in Central Italy

Trekking in the Tuscan countryside, for example by following Via Francigena , going to visit maybe Umbria and Lazio also, is a different way of walking than the suggested so far. The climbs are less steep, the least extreme and less resounding landscapes, but more idyllic. See for example Photos of these paths in Crete Senesi .
Those who love the sea must absolutely explore the Coast around Cala Violina and a little further south The Maremma park and Talamone not to mention the wild Island of Capraia .

Walking south ...

There would be so much to say about the beautiful regions in Central-Southern Italy. Here I fight for the Basilicata the paths of the Gravina di Matera and the itineraries (ferrata included!) A Castelmezzano and in the Dolomites Lucane . Read the pages dedicated to Calabria , Puglia e Campania For other inspirations. On Sardinia I have a nice suggestion: The ring route in Capo Ferrato and Mount Ferru .

Trekking in Sicily

From the hiking point of view, the Sicily stand out to the south because it offers many possibilities including the two active volcanoes of Etna and Stromboli, two Really peculiar destinations for Italy. If the volcanoes intimidize you and is not full summer, you can obviously follow splendid trails on the sea, for example in the Zingaro reserve.
