Walking holidays in Italy

Walking tours through ancient culture and picturesque landscapes
Hiking experience around the medieval village Serralunga d'Alba

Italy stands as one of the most sought-after travel destinations in Europe, if not globally. Its allure stems from an ancient culture, picturesque landscapes, delectable cuisine, and the inherent charm of its people, collectively contributing to the near-magical essence of the country.

Few countries possess the diversity and regional distinctions characteristic of Italy. Engaging in a walking or hiking tour within Italy offers a profound journey into the heart of its natural beauty.

The multifaceted terrain of Italy caters to a wide range of preferences for hiking enthusiasts. From the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany to the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites and the rugged coastline of the Amalfi Coast, each region boasts its own unique charm and natural wonders.

Hike with all your senses through the breathtaking mountains of South Tyrol, take a refreshing dip in the cool Lake Garda after a hot day of hiking, climb the beautiful Italian Alps, explore the picturesque Friuli-Venezia Giulia, taste the fantastic cuisine of Piedmont or relax on a white sandy beach in southern and central Italy!

Lake Garda walking holidays

The Lake Garda region offers a colourful mix of landscapes, from the South Tyrolean Alps to the vineyards of small, idyllic towns.

The Lake Garda region is a place where angular rocks give way to soft, lush green meadows and the crystal clear mountain lakes become tranquil rivers.

Travel through northern Italy and experience the change from the rugged Alps to the typical Mediterranean flair!
