Mountains: areas and excursions

Seven thousand hectares at an altitude ranging from 250 to 3841 metres above sea level. This is the area of the Monviso Park, populated by conifers and birches and crossed by the Po River. The journey we are proposing is to discover the mountain section of the Great River, included in the Cuneo area. An enchanting itinerary, full of different panoramas that will remain etched in your eyes and hearts.

This is a long route: 92 m to cover in 6 days, along the banks of the Tanagro, a river that flows gently at first but then swells to receive inflows from other streams, becoming an ideal habitat for many colonies of native birds and fish. Following the course of the Tanagro, you'll cross the diverse landscape of the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park and stumble upon the ruins of ancient temples, mills and villages. Passing below Roman bridges and swelled by the water from underground rock cavities, the Tanagro finally plunges into the Sele, ending its journey in the sea.

It is rare to see so much natural variety all concentrated in a single region. This is the Gargano, known as the 2spur of Italy" for its unusual position that it looks like a strip of land carried by the wind from who knows what distant shores. Here, every exploration is enhanced by a panorama of rugged coastlines, white cliffs, an emerald sea, pine forests with an infinite variety of habitats and also mystical and spiritual places. Compared to the southern coast, the northern part of Gargano is wilder and less flashy. Here, outside the period from June to September, you will find peace and tranquillity. Dunes and fine sand stretch as far as the eye can see, and the beauty of the natural environment is captivating, whether seen from the beach or from the heights of the perched villages, perhaps quenching your thirst with a Gargano IGP lemonade. There is not much else you could need, but nevertheless the Gargano, a region protected by the Gargano National Park, is also a paradise for nature lovers, explorers, birdwatchers with binoculars around their necks and sports enthusiasts. Cyclists, in particular, will rejoice because cycling is the best way to breathe in the essence of the place, with deserted coves, secluded views, lonely and silent places, and small villages to be discovered pedal after pedal. There are several possible routes of varying difficulty, here we propose a route from Peschici to Lake Lesina. You reach Rodi Garganico, follow the long straight road that skirts Lake Varano, and passing from Foce di Varano, once a fishing village and now a lively tourist port, you arrive at Foce di Capoiale, a characteristic canal port where you can enjoy the view of the lake with the mountains in the background and observe the life of fishermen and the casting of nets. If you wish, you can take a variant that goes all the way around Lake Varano, otherwise you continue straight on to Lake Lesina.

The Via di Francesco touches the places that were witnesses to the human adventure of Francis of Assisi, saint and patron of Italy. Monasteries, basilicas, hermitages: each of these places has a place in the Franciscan story. On the paths of the Via di Francesco you find walkers from all over the world and the atmosphere that prevails always evokes a mystical and religious sense of movement. In its entirety, the Route is just under 500 kilometres long and runs from the cliff of the Shrine of La Verna – not far from Sansepolcro, in the heart of the Tuscan Apennines – to Gubbio and Assisi, and then continue through the hills of Umbria towards Rome. We walk on the Via del Nord, which connects Chiusi della Verna to Assisi. An evocative route, 189 kilometres long, a distance that can be covered in ten stages and about 70 hours, passing through Chiusi della Verna, Pieve Santo Stefano, Sansepolcro, Citerna Monterchi, Città di Castello, Pietralunga, Gubbio, Valfabbrica, Perugia, Bastia Umbra and Assisi. You sleep in simple and minimalist hostels, or in the hermitages where Francis was also welcomed, the refreshments are welcoming and stage after stage, even for those who do not set out adhering to the spirit of "pilgrimage", you feel an intense spirituality that connects you deeply with nature and with yourself.

For lovers of walking and cycling excursions we propose an exciting itinerary to discover the National Park of the Casentino Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna. A route in 4 stages in one of the most beautiful protected areas of Italy, between Romagna and Tuscany. Secular forests, shrines and waterfalls will surprise you, as will the variety of landscapes you'll encounter. A paradise for trekking!

Splits of greenery and small lakes are the landscape elements that characterize the territory of the upper Nure Valley. To discover this Apennine section of the Piacenza hinterland, once populated by glaciers, we propose 2 really interesting itineraries, divided into stages that all start from the town of Ferriere. 2 trekking experiences to discover a diverse nature, far from human contamination, rich in particular species of flowers, plants and animals.

An ideal territory for cyclists, who between one ride and another can refresh themselves between crescentines with the "cunza", borlengo and a glass of Lambrusco.

If you know by heart the unforgettable exploits of cycling champion Marco Pantani, you've probably already heard of Campo Imperatore. Just in Abruzzo, “il Pirata” flew in 1999 towards the first of his four stage victories of that Giro d 'Italia. Campo Imperatore is mainly known for its ski area, among the best known and equipped in central Italy. The town of Abruzzo is today a point of reference also for bicycle tourists. In addition to having cable cars, chairlifts and cranks, in fact, Campo Imperatore has a long tradition as a stage venue for the main cycling stage races, which have always attracted a festive crowd of cycling enthusiasts and which still today, in spring and summer, welcomes a constant flow of cyclists and bikepackers, arriving from Italy and abroad.

In the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you will find a perfect new dimension in uncontaminated territory where you can cycle on routes covering over 400 kilometres. Would you like to learn more about the opportunity? We’ll provide you with a few details. Given your particular interest, an ideal location would be Paganella, where the local bike park offers access to a series of routes winding across a spectacular mountain range, with downhill, free-ride and ‘flow’ trails, and also single-track zones. Tracks of various grades for all levels and types of biking activities.

Practised on a roller board of various sizes, skateboarding is not just an extreme sporting activity, but a real lifestyle. It makes use of benches, steps and handrails, as well as specially designed spaces such as skateparks. Rome, between one archaeological site and another, is home to numerous spots, but two locations deserve special attention: the Bunker Skatepark and The Spot Skatepark Ostia. Let's find out together.

What does it take to soar through the blue sky aboard a hang glider? Naturally, a hill or a slope where to launch and then take off from with favourable currents, suitable weather conditions, a good dose of courage and the irrepressible desire, which man has cradled since the dawn of time, to observe the world from above. If you are looking for the place where all these conditions come together to create the perfect free flight experience, welcome to Umbria, where you will also have the opportunity to explore one of Italy's sweetest and most prized natural and artistic landscapes from a different point of view (from above). Umbria offers several flight centres for beginners and experts where you can experience the thrill of tandem flying with an experienced pilot for the first time, or get personally involved if you are already good, surrounded by enchanting natural scenery.

Rocky coastline overlooking the sea paths that wind between the Mediterranean scrub, cliffs overlooking the beaches with vibrant colors and crystal clear waters: Sardinia with its wild interior and spectacular views has long been known as one of the most fascinating destinations for lovers of climbing. Thanks to its mild climate, the island offers the possibility to climb throughout the year and, as of late spring, a vacation that combines relaxation on the beach with sports. Cala Gonone in the province of Nuoro, Jerzu in the province of Ogliastra, Isili in the province of Cagliari, Supramonte in the central-eastern area, and Iglesiente in the southwest of the island, are just some of the places not to miss if you want to explore Sardinia’s walls of rock. Climbable walls are present, however, all over the island and recently areas such as Sassari and Alghero are becoming popular. These courses tend to be well-equipped and periodically checked. They were initially discovered and evaluated by Sardinian and European outdoorsmen, and are now beloved throughout Europe.

From the Resia artificial basin, one can ascend eastwards through the picturesque Vallelunga, at the end of which lies this hut, which could be described as a high mountain resort, such is the quality of its accommodation and culinary offer. Its 2,267 metres of altitude can also be reached by a pre-booked shuttle service. Here, regional products and typical recipes can be tasted; the star among the desserts is the Kaiserschmarren, a pancake with South Tyrolean flavours.

The paradise of hikers of all ages A beautiful and varied valley at the foot of two of the most beautiful mountains in the world, Pelmo and Civetta: the Val di Zoldo will conquer you at first sight thanks to its variety of landscapes, between different altitudes. Immersed in unspoiled nature and a treasure chest of ancient traditions, it is part of the National Park of the Belluno Dolomites and boasts a rich fauna composed of deer, chamois and ibex. Ideal destination for walkers of all ages and experience, it is the perfect opportunity to find yourself among walks for the whole family, more challenging excursions for those who have experience, but also simple tours between the countries inside, rich in history, art and flavors. Mount Civetta boasts, on the north side, a large vertical wall known as the "Wall of the walls", characterized by several climbing routes. Here there are plenty of easy or medium difficulty routes that lead to the top, but the most loved one will take you to Rifugio Coldai and the homonymous lake where you can relax. Mount Pelmo has two main peaks, known as Pelmo and Pelmetto. At the foot of the latter, on a rock, you can admire the footprints of some dinosaurs, a paleontological discovery of inestimable value that will excite even the smallest.

Snow-covered slopes, gourmet cuisine and aperitifs with friends are three vital ingredients for a skiing week. From traditional high-altitude refuges to designer chalets with gourmet restaurants and amazing night-life in the clubs, Trentino as ever ranks among the best choices for a relaxing and truly enjoyable mountain holiday.

Val di Non has one of the shortest geographical names on the planet: it is not surprising that even the name of its main town requires only a few letters. Here the people are succinct, and also quite ancient. A bronze slab found in the vicinity in the mid-1800s proves that the Anauni, i.e., the ancestors of today's Nonesi, were by right Cives Romani as early as 46 A.D. at the behest of Emperor Claudius. A copy of the archaeological tablet with the recognition of citizenship is displayed on the façade of the Palazzo Assessorile, a noble 14th-century building in the city centre, but the original is in Trento, at the Castello del Buonconsiglio. Cles, however, has its own castle, very imposing and one of the best in Trentino, perched on a promontory outside the town. In the 12th century, when Lake Santa Giustina did not exist, the fortification served to control a ford of the Noce River. Its current appearance, with frescoes and a refined coffered ceiling inside, is the result of its transformation into a residence commissioned in the 16th century by Bernardo Clesio, a native of Cles and prince-bishop of Trento. He was also responsible for the reconstruction in Gothic-Renaissance forms of the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta, which today, after other 19th-century interventions, stands on the central roundabout for the town's road system. As for the lake, it was formed by a dam built in the mid-20th century. There are spots where it is possible to reach the water, but overall it is not considered suitable for bathing, just as the castle, which is privately owned, cannot usually be visited.

Molveno is a historic holiday resort, located on the northern shore of the lake of the same name, with the Brenta Dolomites as a luxurious setting. For the sum of its resources and the efficiency of visitor services, Molveno has obtained the recognition of the Orange Flag, with which the Touring Club indicates the most valid among the minor tourist resorts. The small municipality, with just over 1,000 residents, has a long history: the area was inhabited as far back as the Neolithic period, the Romans established their own settlement here, but it was in the Middle Ages that it took on a certain importance. At that time there was a Castle of Molveno, belonging to the Counts of Flavòn, which was demolished at the end of the 14th century. On the other hand, the jewel that is the church of St Vigilio, dating back to the thirteenth century, survives at the cemetery. Molveno preserves some medieval parts in the portico of the so-called Casa del Dazio, as well as the Baroque Palazzo Saracini. During your stay, you should take into account: a walk around the lake, with the many activities you can do on its shores, and towards the suggestive Valle delle Seghe; a visit to the ancient Venetian sawmill Taialacqua; hiking on the paths within reach of the Molveno Pradel and Andalo ski lifts to Cima Paganella. The village is also a real paradise for families: children can have fun in the well-equipped areas of the lake, at the Forest Park of Molveno, with a walk on the Sciury path or the Pumptrack.

Included in the territory of the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, Castel del Monte is a place that has always enchanted with the beauty and majesty of the landscape that surrounds it, making it a popular destination for those in search of the most authentic and unspoiled nature. A village with a medieval soul and urban planning, which is still told above all in the typical tower-houses, the village has always been a symbol of transhumance. The production of the famous local Canestrato cheese is linked to this ancient practice. Its rind shows the imprints of the basket in which it is ripened, its flavour is intense and reminiscent of the scents of meadows, leaving room at the end for a slight sweetness. Canestrato has the flavour of an ancient history, tasting it means taking part in it and preserving its memory.

Together with Valdobbiadene, Conegliano is the best-known region in theProsecco Superiore DOCG area. It is no coincidence that the cultural landscape recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2019 is called the "Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene". The surroundings of Valdobbiadene reveal a territory particularly rich in vineyards, while Conegliano has been an undisputed regional reference point for the teaching of oenology since 1876, when aviticultural school was opened in the city. It is now the Cerletti Institute, a training centre specialised in oenology and agriculture. Lovers of art and history will find plenty in Conegliano to surprise and excite them: firstly, among the rooms of the city's civic museum, housed in a tall medieval tower at the top of the Janus hill, or visiting thehouse museum of the famous Renaissance painter Giovanni Battista Cima, or else strolling through Contrada Grande, beneath aristocratic palazzi in typical Veneto style. Finally, the main monument in Conegliano is the Cathedral of San Leonardo, whose structure remains covered by the beautifully decorated façade of the Sala dei Battuti (Hall of the Battuti), a congregation that was very active in the city in the late medieval era.

A small village on the L'Aquila side of the Gran Sasso, Santo Stefano di Sessanio, as happened to most of the towns in the Abruzzo hinterland, experienced a strong depopulation in the second half of the 20th century. It has experienced vindication, more recently, thanks to the development of an excellent hotel tourism service. From the end of the 16th century, Santo Stefano di Sessanio was governed by the Medici and the local economy flourished thanks to the production of wool direct to Florence. The crenellated tower, which stands between the houses, is called the Medici Tower, but in reality it dates back to the 14th century: the name testifies to the economic and cultural impact that the Florentine family had in the village. The restoration of the keep, destroyed by the 2009 earthquake, was completed in 2021, preserving the original elements. Even today, the Medici Gate retains the family coat of arms affixed to the gutter. The memory of the village and the surrounding territories is preserved in the Terre della Baronia Museum. A few steps from the museum, the Medici square overlooks the small church of the Holy Souls, or Suffrage, with the main altar dedicated to the Virgin of Mount Carmel. In the plots of clay land surrounding the village, ideal for the growth of legumes, the lentils of Santo Stefano di Sessanio have been cultivated for centuries, a Slow Food presidium: small and permeable, it does not need soaking and a simple but renowned soup is obtained.

The Castle of Ussel: the spectacle of an impregnable fortress As you progress along the steep path, the solemn vision of the Castle of Ussel approaches. And, wow! It is not protected by defensive walls, because the manor already has in itself the absolute character of an impregnable fortress. The stone parallelepiped with its austere lines towers above a rocky promontory, its severe silhouette guarding the towns of Châtillon and Saint-Vincent as far as the valley floor crossed by the Dora Baltea. An amazing sight. On the rock with a dramatic panorama The last 50-metre stretch towards the Castle of Ussel from the plateau below can only be travelled on foot: a slow approach from the access side, while a dizzying precipice opens up on the other side. The manor is a landmark in the history of military architecture in Aosta Valley. In fact, it was the first fort to be built from scratch as a single compact body, by Ebalo II of Challant around 1343. Today it is a perfectly preserved testimony to the last stylistic phase of the medieval castle. Over the centuries, it passed several times from the feudal family of Challant to the Savoy family and was even turned into a prison after the death of the last lord in 1470, only to be completely abandoned a hundred years later. Traces of the monumental floors and fireplaces can be seen inside, and one of the attractions is the ornate mullioned windows, which provide the perfect frame for photographs with the landscape framed by the arches. Don't miss what was once the patrol path, a footpath flanked by battlements only recently made accessible to visitors. From up there, the 360° view of the Châtillon plain is truly breathtaking. The Baron and the Bic pen A more recent, but no less fascinating, story is that of the Castle of Ussel when it was acquired in 1984 by Baron Marcel Bich, whose family was originally from Châtillon. The nobleman was a brilliant entrepreneur; it was he who bought the patent for ballpoint pens from the inventor László József Bíró, and then marketed it worldwide under the name BIC. And he continued his successful climb with the worldwide success of disposable razors and lighters, also of the BIC brand. After purchasing the fortress, the baron donated it to the Aosta Valley region, with the stipulation that the institutions would undertake to restore and open the Castle of Ussel to the public. This happened right on time, with a grand opening in 1998. Since then, the fort has become an exhibition space for temporary exhibitions, the first of which was naturally dedicated to the donor and his BICs. Horseback riding around the manor Are you ready for an unusual experience? The Castle of Ussel and its surroundings can be visited while riding magnificent horses. It is a two-and-a-half hour group tour with an equestrian guide, suitable for everyone with the only restriction being age: those under 14 will have to wait a little longer. Horseback riding is a slow and sustainable way of exploring the territory. Forget the car and test yourself with a few trots. The fort stands before you in all its magnificence, with its almost menacing stone, its two turrets, the living rock on which it literally stands anchored. The rest is landscape as you pass through a beautiful part of Aosta Valley, the nearby Saint-Vincent and the surrounding forests; cross ancient mule tracks and encounter tiny mountain villages where ancient ovens are still standing.

The position is enchanting. Dobbiaco stands just above 1200 metres at the beginning of the high Pusteria valley, the "Land of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo", right at the mouth of the Landro valley, which stretches south towards Cadore and Ampezzano, creeping between high Dolomite peaks. At the gates of the town, there is also a lake, a shallow basin formed by the Rienza, with a perimeter of 4.5 kilometres: a gem set between the two natural parks of Fanes-Senes-Braies and Tre Cime. It's not difficult to understand why this town was one of the first tourist destinations in the region, famous already at the time of the Belle Époque and the Finis Austriae, when aristocrats, intellectuals and artists such as the composer Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) met in Dobbiaco: people accustomed to the elegance of Vienna who demanded the highest level of accommodation facilities. For them, the "new" part of the village was developed, with the railway station inaugurated in 1871 and the Grand Hotel, built in 1877–78, today home to the Tre Cime Nature Park and a large number of cultural initiatives. Dobbiaco boasts, in fact, a highly respected programme of artistic and musical events, centred between July and August on the concerts of Gustav Mahler Musikwochen. Further north, the historic centre of Dobbiaco clusters around the baroque grace of the Church of St. John the Baptist (1764–74) and Herbstenburg Castle (private), built from a medieval tower and expanded in the 1500s. Halfway between the two villages is Mondolatte, an ideal point of contact between culture, local traditions and gastronomic pleasures: this is the museum of milk and the art of cheese-making of the Latteria Tre Cime dairy, which also organises workshops and tasting sessions.

Lake Braies is an emerald of water that shines at an altitude of about 1490 metres, enveloped on three sides by a crown of Dolomite peaks that, reflected in its waters, doubles in size: Croda del Becco (2810 m) dominates over them all, with a wall that plummets to the southern shore of the lake. This is the heart of the Fanes-Senes-Braies Natural Park, in a "world apart" of forests, alpine pastures and plateaus, where we arrive by taking a ten-kilometre detour from the Val Pusteria state road and cycle path, heading south. The splendid "postcard" of Lake Braies, with the bulk of the Croda in the background, is also well known for other reasons: the credit goes to the successful television series Un passo dal cielo (English: One step from heaven) with Terence Hill, filmed on its shores and broadcast by RAI since 2011. Approximately 1,200 metres long, up to 400 metres wide and more than 35 metres deep, the lake has a character that differs from almost all other Dolomite basins: it was formed by a huge landslide that fell from the Sasso del Signore onto the course of the Rio Braies, creating a natural barrage, neither glacial nor moraine in origin. Along the banks, between fir forests, runs a walk of about an hour, very pleasant and a little overcrowded in summer. The charm of the landscape and the great television fame have made the lake so popular that limits have been introduced to reduce the impact of tourism. This means that in summer, you cannot get there by car but only by bike or by shuttle (line 442 from Dobbiaco and Villabassa) or on foot from the car park (to be booked) in the village of Ferrara: this is where the theme path "Viktor Wolf Edler von Glanvell" starts, which takes an hour and a half. For those looking for more challenging hikes, the Alta via no. 1 of the Dolomites starts from the lake, the "Classica", which arrives in Belluno at the foot of the Schiara group.

The twin basins on the border with Slovenia Two crystal-clear stretches of water, surrounded by imposing mountains and wild nature, on the border between Italy and Slovenia. The ideal place for a breathtaking hike in all seasons or, simply, relax on the shore and unwind surrounded by greenery. The Fusine Lakes are two small but precious gems of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. These basins of glacial origin, one called Inferiore and the other Superiore, are connected by an underground water system and mirror the peaks of the Ponze ridge, the Mangart, the Masso Pirona and many other mountains in the Alps. The surrounding spruce, fir and beech forests are the perfect habitat for roe deer, red deer, chamois and various species of migratory birds. Trekking enthusiasts will find challenging trails in this area, such as the one leading to Rifugio Zacchi and Capanna Ponza, with spectacular views of the entire valley. In winter, the white of the snow makes the panorama even more magical. Have fun exploring the area with skis or snowshoes.

The Great Crossing of the Alps, known as the GTA, is a long-distance, medium-difficulty hiking route to be undertaken on foot, which runs along the Pennine, Graian, Cottian and Maritime Alps, as far as the valleys of the Ligurian Alps. In Piedmont, the GTA route covers 1,000 km and is divided into 55 stages, starting from Viozene, in the Ligurian Alps, and ending at Molini di Calasca, in the Anzasca Valley, in the Verbano Cusio Ossola region. A spectacular alpine trek for lovers of slow tourism and wildlife watching between valleys, villages and alpine lakes in wild landscapes along paths and mule tracks, all signposted and certified by CAI (Club Alpino Italiano), which make it possible to pass from valley to valley crossing the most accessible passes. Each stage involves 5 to 8 hours of walking. The recommended period is from mid-June to September, when (except for seasonal exceptions) there is no snow and all the places and shelters are accessible and open. All trails are identified by white and red signs, as well as metal flags with the GTA logo. At the end of each stage, you will find GTA accommodation or Italian Alpine Club mountain huts. Loop routes are also connected to the GTA, allowing you to start and return to your starting point.

Baveno, where the sunsets are even more romantic. Nestled among green hills sloping gently down to the waters of Lake Maggiore, Baveno is a Piedmontese municipality in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola of about 5,000 inhabitants. The ancient village, rich in history, tradition and culture, is enriched by a splendid view of the Borromean Islands and the breathtaking and evocative panorama makes Baveno a jewel of peace and relaxation. The village, located along the Via Severiana Augusta that connected Milan with the Sempione Pass and known for its low-mineral waters and pink granite quarries, was already an important commercial hub in ancient times and a crossroads of art and culture, as evidenced by the 5th-century Baptistery and the Romanesque parish church of SS. Gervasio and Protasio. Walking along the narrow streets of Domo and Baitone, the two districts that make up the historic centre of Baveno, it is possible to admire suggestive views as far as the lake, where a romantic walk along the lakefront offers visitors a beautiful panorama of the Borromean Islands. Over the centuries, this unique place has attracted more and more visitors, including illustrious ones, who have wanted to take up residence here: Villa Fedora, Villa Branca, Casa Morandi, Villa Durazzo, are just a few of the many marvellous residences that adorn the Piedmont shore of the lake and that, since the mid-19th century, have hosted numerous internationally renowned personalities. With a host of trails to visit, Baveno has plenty of opportunities for visitors to discover its history and culture as they stroll through fragrant flower-filled parks and picturesque streets with unique views in a calm and romantic setting.

An Apennine lake of glacial origin One of the most fascinating and well-trodden routes in Piacenza is undoubtedly the one that takes you from the small municipality of Ferriere to the panoramic peak of Monte Ragola, passing through the hamlet of Canadello and skirting around the Lago Moo and Lago Bino lakes. Of glacial origin, today Lago Moo has almost completely disappeared because of the presence of marsh flora. However, this small, oval-shaped lake is still home to numerous native animal species, including the Alpine Newt and dragonflies. The best season to visit the lake is definitely summer, when a carpet of yellow water lilies covers the surface of the water, creating a cacophony of bright and extremely vivid colours. Just a few hundred metres higher up, continuing along the beaten path, you come to Lago Bino, with a larger quantity of water, and the Prato Grande, a green expanse, also of glacial origin, where you can rest and relax among nature or at the mountain hut.
