About Walking Holidays Italy

One lifetime would likely not be enough to discover every treasure of Italy’s extensive and diverse landscape. Between the pristine alpine lands in the north and the Sicilian vasts touched by Mediterranean vegetation in the south are yet several other visit-worthy destinations with their own unique characteristics.

The opportunities for walking in Italy are numerous, from the hidden coves of Cinque Terre to Tuscany’s rolling hills. You can settle on anything, be it a challenging hiking experience or a holiday allowing more leisure — walking tours in Italy are as diverse as it gets.

If you are unsure exactly which location you want to visit and which Italy hiking tours suit your abilities and fitness level, our team is here to assist you. We designed each product bearing in mind that not everybody can tackle large altitude changes daily for several consecutive days.

Therefore, we prepared something for everyone!

As such, anyone can get their chance to discover Italy’s one-of-a-kind culture, including their savory cuisine, antique remains from the Roman times, and stunning architecture. That is one big positive regarding walking holidays — there are no restraints, and you can simply go wherever your feet take you and explore!

You can rest assured that we will take our best care of you on our walking holidays in Italy. Accommodation bookings, itinerary planning, and all other logistical nightmares will be tended to. We will also equip you with GPS tracks for your hikes and offer you 24/7 support during the trip.

Give our tours of walks in Italy a glimpse and see which one keeps you intrigued. A hike in the Dolomites? Or maybe a getaway to the magical Amalfi Coast? Let us know, and we will help you with the organization.

Our 24/7 customer support is where we show our passion, bringing you a better experience by making your well-being our number one priority.

Things to know

Our tours are designed to cater to a broad range of people, but some days can be quite challenging, with long distances and significant elevation gain. We aim to minimize this as much as possible while ensuring a high-quality experience. To fully enjoy our tours, you should be accustomed to walking for 4-6 hours, overcoming around 600 meters of elevation gain.

However, Alta Via 1 hut-to-hut hikes and Tour du Mont Blanc are more demanding and require a higher fitness level. On these tours, you may need to hike up to 8 hours per day and tackle substantial elevation gain.

Yes, our hiking holidays are appropriate for children who are physically prepared and have a good balance. However, to guarantee the safety and enjoyment of our young participants, we suggest that they should be at least eight years old to join our tours.

Proper footwear is crucial for our walking tours. We recommend wearing sturdy hiking shoes with ankle support for all our hikes. The terrain can be uneven, rocky, and slippery. Wearing sneakers can be dangerous, especially if you are not accustomed to hiking on such surfaces, as they do not offer enough protection and support. Robust shoes also provide the necessary support when your legs get tired during long hikes.

Yes, we highly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot. The earlier you book, the better the chances are of getting your preferred options. If you book close to the start of the season or during the season, we may not be able to guarantee availability in the hotels and apartments. Therefore, it is best to make reservations as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience.

It is essential to note that accommodations at the destinations of our walking tours are in high demand during the summer season. Therefore, early booking is crucial to secure your preferred type of housing. However, we assure you that we will always try our best to provide you with the most suitable lodging based on your preferences. Rest assured that we will do everything possible to ensure that your stay is comfortable and enjoyable.

Our tours are well-organized, and all the destinations are easily accessible and straightforward to navigate. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will require a guide. Our comprehensive handout will provide you with all the essential information while still allowing you the freedom of a self-guided holiday.

However, if you prefer to have a guide, please let us know, and we will make the necessary arrangements for you.

Most of the accommodations we provide offer vegetarian and vegan options for breakfast. Additionally, you will find no shortage of vegetarian and vegan menus in restaurants during the tour. However, it is worth noting that some mountain huts on Alta Via 1 or Tour du Mont Blanc may not offer vegan meals. In such situations, it is advisable to bring your own food to ensure that your dietary needs are met.

The best time to go on a walking holiday in Italy varies depending on the location you plan to visit. Destinations such as the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, and Sicily are best visited during early spring and fall when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are fewer.

However, in areas like the Dolomites or around Mont Blanc, hiking is not possible when there is snow high up in the mountains. Therefore, the hiking season in these areas is limited from late June to late September. It is advisable to plan your trip accordingly to get the best out of your walking holiday in Italy.

We can best advise you after receiving a filled-out inquiry form.

While hiking in light rain is manageable, it is important to note that hiking during a storm can be dangerous. It is advisable to schedule hikes early in the day during the summer months to avoid thunderstorms. However, if the weather forecast predicts severe weather, it is best to reschedule your walk for another day or explore different tour options.

Your safety is our top priority, and we will always work with you to find a suitable solution in case of inclement weather.

Most of the destinations for our walking tours in Italy have excellent public transportation. While renting a car can provide flexibility, several locations cannot be comfortably accessed by car. Instead, we suggest relying on public transport to reduce stress and have a more environmentally friendly experience.

We provide all the necessary information for buses, trains, and ferries to ensure that you can reach your destination with ease. By using public transport, we can also reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable travel experience.
