Italy is our home, and what a wonderful home we have. We have walked our way across it and fell in love with its every book, its villages, and people; we now offer trips in nearly every region of Italy because we truly love them all.
Here are the popular Caminos and the itineraries we have crafted; from the well-known art cities to the hidden gems, we've got them all covered. Whether it's the North, the South, the Center, or the islands.
Our approach is always unhurried, with unwavering support from our dedicated team and the incredible people we've encountered throughout our journeys - they epitomize the genuine splendor that the "bel paese" has to offer.
From Via Francigena - the Way to Rome, crossing seven Italian region in its 1000 km from Aosta Valley to Latium - to the St.Francis Way, from the Via degli Dei - from Bologna to Florence, not to be confused with the Path of the Gods on Amalfi Coast - to the Way to Matera, Italy is full of caminos for those who'd like to pilgrim their way through our bel paese.
If you are wondering our we create our itineraries - well, it's the simplest thing: we find and scout the best hikes for each area and put them together in one incredible journey. We have trips in almost every region of our beautiful country, from the coasts of Puglia to the peaks of Trentino Alto Adige; be it the vineyards of Piedmont or the hills of Chianti, you can explore every iconic Italian landscape on foot, and we are here to take you there.
We know that the Dolomites are among the first destinations our traveller want to visit - the iconic Unesco Heritage listed scenery of rugged, snow-capped peaks looks just too beautiful to be real, and yet it is. But we have several mountain trips to choose from - little-known, enchanting Val Maira; the Mont Blanc, an epic traverse; Chestnut Route, a wonderful option for families and beginners; and much more. </
We have the art cities, of course, and all the Italian grandeur you have always dreamed of; but we also have the hidden gems, the undiscovered borghi and small-scale Italy we'd love for you to discover. Our walking itineraries run through all sort of beauty, from well known areas such as Cinque Terre and Amalfi Coast to villages not even Italians have ever heard of.
