Italy

Dolomites & Via Francigena

Italy is the perfect destination for lovers of food, wine, history and nature. It offers an irresistible blend of jaw-dropping mountain hikes and ancient pilgrim trails.

The UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites in the north are the most beautiful mountains in the world! The soaring jagged peaks, idyllic alpine meadows and emerald lakes create an enchanting hiking experience, especially when the beautiful green valleys are overflowing with wildflower colours! On our guided trips, our seasoned mountain leaders will keep you safe and unlock fascinating local traditions and cultural insights.

Further south, sun-drenched, vine-lined Tuscany is where you’ll find the best parts of the ancient Via Francigena – the pilgrim route that connected Canterbury with Rome during the Middle Ages. It’s perfect for self-guided walking. Along the way, explore ancient monasteries and medieval hilltop villages, and replenish your energy with Italian cheeses, a cheeky Aperol Spritz and pasta served with the region’s rare white truffle oil!

After your walk, we highly recommend a few relaxing days in Venice, Florence or Rome. Come join us in Italy. You won’t be disappointed!
