Essential Information

Popular walking regions

The whole country is host to beautiful scenery! The north is home to the idyllic lakes and rugged mountains of the dolomites, whereas Tuscany and central Italy is where you’ll find rolling hills and vineyards as far as the eye can see. If you yearn for the sound of the rolling waves to accompany your walk, then the south coast and Sardinia will be right for you. 

Our favourite areas include:

 

The best time for a walking holiday in Italy
The best time when walking in the coast or central Italy (Tuscany or the Amalfi Coast for example) is typically between April – May and September – October. During those periods the days are typically warm and sunny throughout, making it the perfect conditions for hiking. During the peak summer months, temperatures can be extremely hot and the cities and trails typically busier. 
What to wear when walking in Italy
While the weather is generally pleasant year-round, there’s always the chance of being caught in showers or brisk winds, particularly on coastal walks or in the mountains. As they say, there’s no such thing as the wrong weather, just the wrong clothes! Our list below covers everything you need: 

Clothing:

Versatile layers are key, so you can make sure you’ll be comfortable throughout our walks. We typically recommend shirts or t-shirts, a lightweight jumper, and a waterproof jacket and trousers which can be packed into your rucksack.

Footwear:

Walking boots with good ankle support are essential, and preferable lightweight and with good grip. If you’re planning on buying a new pair of boots for your trip, we’d recommend breaking them in at home. Several pairs of walking socks are also a must.

Accessories:

A rucksack for our walks is essential, and should be big enough to fit in:

  • A hat
  • Gloves
  • Umbrella
  • Sunglasses
  • Suncream
  • Small first aid kit
  • Water bottle
 

We’d also recommend bringing walking poles, even if you may not typically use them. As well as providing support for the knees, they can be especially useful if descending in poor conditions. Many walking poles can be folded down and stored in your rucksack when not in use.

If you’d like any further suggestions on how to come best prepared, please contact our team and they’ll be able to provide further advice ahead of your trip.

 

Getting there
Our Italy walking holidays include flights from Gatwick as standard. However, there’s typically flights from most of the UK to various destinations across Italy, so we may be able to help you find a flight closer to home. Please call our team and they’ll be able to find the best travel options for you.
Should I do a guided or self-guided trip?

Our guided walking holidays are the perfect way to meet like-minded travellers, who you’ll make unforgettable memories with.

While self-guided trips to Italy are generally accessible and safe, you may find it more challenging to immerse yourself in the full Italy experience. As well as logistical planning (such as airport transfers included as standard!), our Solos walking holidays typically include scenic accommodation, the best of the local cuisine, as well as experiences to savour, such as wine tasting, museums, and spas. All you need to worry about is taking the perfect holiday snaps!
