Frescoed churches, Renaissance art, family-run vineyards and, of course, mouth-watering cuisine, mean that our walking holidays in Italy are always worth it. We actively encourage you to delight in the details – a graceful villa, a rippling wheat field – this is what Inntravel holidays are all about. And since you’re not with a group, and have no luggage (we transfer it between hotels), you can do just that, following our comprehensive route notes at your own pace.
Our walking holidays in Italy explore famously alluring regions such as Tuscany and Sicily, but also lesser-known corners such as the Apennine Mountains, Piedmont (Piemonte) and the Gargano Peninsula, the spur of Italy's heel. Whatever backdrop you’d like for your walking holiday, Italy has something for you – you could walk beneath the mighty peaks of the Dolomites or Mont Blanc; follow paths high above the sea in Liguria; along the shores of the Italian Lakes; or through the lemon groves of the Amalfi Coast. Whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy some of the best walking Italy has to offer.
Inntravel has been offering Italian walking holidays since 1994, meaning we know the best regions, the most scenic paths and the friendliest hotels. We cater for all levels, from gentle strolls to high-mountain hikes, so decide what grade is best suited to you, and whether you’d like to walk from hotel to hotel or from a single centre, and take it from there.
Grade 1
These gentle strolls range typically between 5-10km per day and involve few ascents or descents. Go at your own pace, pause at every opportunity, and take it all in.
Grade 1-2
You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy these walks, but someone who's happy to take on around 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
Grade 2
Expect to cover approximately 10-15km a day, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents. You'll be challenged in places – but enjoy superb views.
Grade 2-3
Where rugged terrain goes hand in hand with the satisfaction of reaching a peak or high pass. Typically, days range between 7-20km and involve significant ascent and descent.
Grade 3
Our most thrilling walks involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings.
Flexible
Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.
Walking holidays in Italy, the Inntravel way
Strikingly beautiful landscapes; charming, family-run hotels and agriturismos chosen by us for their warm welcome; and delicious food and wines. These are the three essential ingredients of Inntravel holidays, and our walking holidays in Italy are no different.
