Hiking in Italy
Our Italy walking holidays ensure that you can escape the seasonal surges of city tourists. The Sentiero Azzurro, or Azure Trail linking the Cinque Terre, and the Amalfi Coast’s Path of the Gods are two of the most famous routes, and with carefully crafted itineraries, you can easily escape the crowds. A glorious alternative is just south of Amalfi in Cilento National Park, a well kept secret side of Campania. The high trails of the Dolomites are perfect in summer when the rest of the country sizzles, and the Tuscan and Umbrian hills are lands of ambrosian ambles at any time of year. As for Puglia, it’s pretty much an all season sensation for hiking holidays.
