Walking Experience
Paths in Italy
Walking is healthy. It is good for the body and the spirit. Walking gives you time to reflect and see things from a different perspective. Doing one of the routes in Italy means doing slow tourism. You have more time to observe the landscapes and to meet people. Meeting people is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have and during a walk there are many people you meet, such as the managers of the structures that host you and the walkers along the way.
Italy, by all accounts, is the most beautiful country in the world and here we have some of the most beautiful paths one can find. You can see all the beauty of Italy on foot by taking its many paths. Below are some of the walks in Italy. Enjoy your walk!
A unique adventure of breathtaking beauty, touching on some of Italy’s most beautiful villages, through the rolling Tuscan hills, among vineyards and fields that change colour with the seasons. An experience you will want to repeat, for the beautiful moments of sharing, a bit of healthy effort, wonderful landscapes and great hospitality. 5 stages from San Miniato to Siena, with slight gradients and short distances, it is also recommended for novices!
The Via Francisca del Lucomagno starts in Constance and, after crossing Switzerland, enters Italy at Lavena Ponte Tresa to reach Pavia in 135 km. It runs all through Lombardy in the midst of nature, important waterways, parks, places of art and culture. There are two UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the route and it is an excellent starting point for those approaching the world of walking! Discover more: Via Francisca del Lucomagno
The Way of Oropa can be walked in four short stages of increasing difficulty. This is ideal as a first approach to the world of walking and for those who want to put themselves to the test, also in preparation for the great walks such as the Via Francigena. Departing from Santhià, which is easily reached by train from both Milan and Turin, the walk takes you along a path with increasing gradient to the beautiful Sanctuary of Oropa.
“Now, with more than thirty thousand kilometres under my feet, to those who ask me why I walk so much, my answer is always the same: because I love Life and the Walk gives me the opportunity to live it to the full, in a continuous search for an encounter with myself and with the beauty of Creation”.
“The Walk becomes an exceptional instrument of self-knowledge and knowledge of the world, transforming itself into a great opportunity for reflection, inner dialogue and personal growth with the consequent improvement of one’s psycho-physical wellbeing and lifestyle”.
“Walking for me is like feeling at home. Mountain peaks, lakes and paths help me to find myself and see the world differently.”
