There are few feelings as exhilarating as getting right off the beaten track, out into wild, wide open spaces, and taking in lungful’s of fresh, clean air on walking holidays that could take you to some of the most spectacular locations in the world. Whether it’s exploring magical coastal cliffs, rugged mountainous interiors, or idyllic riverside rambles, the most essential feeling is that of escaping the crowds, finding hidden trails thanks to your local guides, and simply soaking up the landscape.
Our walking holidays in Italy get you in touch with the beautiful landscape in this stunning country. Explore the once-in-a-lifetime routes that explore the stunning countryside of Abruzzo, where the Adriatic Sea meets stunning mountains, discovering offbeat experiences and locally known trails along the way.
Walking and hiking are an absolutely essential way of getting truly in touch with a landscape, and the only real way to get yourself truly off the beaten track, and far from the crowds. It’s a wonderful way to really experience a destination, and this is as true in Italy as it is anywhere.
And walking holidays in Italy are about so much more than rolling green fields and vineyards stretching into the distance, even if you do have them in abundance. Whether you’re venturing into the stunning mountains of Abruzzo and it’s national parks, or strolling along the pristine coastline dotted with idyllic fishing villages, there’s always a stunning restaurant to savour a well-earned glass of wine at the end of the day.
Hiking in Italy represents a chance to see the things that most tourists don’t, ancient monasteries clinging to stunning hillsides, isolated fishing villages that still practice generations-old traditions, hidden mountain peaks that offer panoramas over glistening, deep blue lakes.
A walking or hiking holiday in Italy is about finding these hidden gems, these off the beaten track locations, and with a local guide, passionate about their home and the trails that wind through the hills, you’ll be sure to find the very best locations and the most thrilling walks.
You can relax and soak up the scenery, let go of worrying about directions or places to stay, and simply drink in the experience of exploration.
Head to Abruzzo, a region where stunning mountain ranges and national parks run down to beautiful Adriatic coastlines, medieval towns hide romantic cobbled streets and atmospheric, family-run wine bars, and pine forests are draped over beautiful rolling hills.
Wherever you head for your walking holiday in Italy, one thing is guaranteed, you’ll create memories that last a lifetime.
