Walking and Trekking holidays in Italy

There are many types of appealing terrain for walking, hiking and trekking in Italy. For tamer pleasures, many enjoy walking along the pretty Cinque Terre coastline. The Amalfi Coast also offers sea views, including some strenuous walks at high levels. As Italy is so mountainous, you can select your own level of difficulty. The Alps and Dolomites in the north have good, marked hiking trails and you can base yourself in a ski resort; most of these are very good for walking in the summer months. The Apennines, the spine of Italy, run for hundreds of miles, with a variety of landscapes and many picturesque towns and villages.

 Here you can find a wide range of hiking holidays across Italy.
