Holiday information

A walking holiday in the Prosecco Hills

Between the Alps and the Adriatic, lies one of the world’s most enchanting wine-growing regions. With their dramatic, vine-covered hills, outstanding local cuisine, and historic towns and villages, the Prosecco Hills offer everything you could want from a holiday destination – and best of all, they remain a wonderfully tranquil place to discover.
Beginning on the southern edge of the region, this self-guided route leads you through the very heart of Prosecco country – a landscape awarded UNESCO World Heritage status and home to Prosecco Superiore DOCG, the highest classification of quality. As you make your way across the rippling terraces of neatly lined vines, with your luggage transferred for you each time you change hotel, you’ll enjoy countless opportunities to sample the celebrated wines – including the rare and prized Cartizze variety.

Although every step of the holiday brings its own reward, the experience gathers momentum as the week unfolds. A final traverse of the Prosecco Hills delivers you to the foot of the mighty Pre-Alps, which is where, as well as the beautiful villages of Follina and Cison di Valmarino, you’ll find your last, highlight hotel. One of Europe’s largest and oldest castles, CastelBrando offers superb views over mountains and plains, along with a remarkable spa complex – the perfect place to relax and reflect on your journey through the Prosecco Hills.

  • Arrival in Susegana
    Night 1: Phi Hotel Astoria (where you spend one night).
    As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of walking.
  • Susegana to Pieve di Soligo: 12.5km, 4.5hrs; ascent 375m/descent 350m
    Your holiday begins with a tranquil route that leads across rolling countryside to the plains nestled beneath the Prosecco Hills. Walking along a mixture of tracks, rural lanes, and the occasional footpath, you hit the halfway point of the route in Collalto – a village with medieval castle ruins. From here, the plains begin to reveal themselves until you reach their centre at the traditional town of Pieve di Soligo. Spend two nights here at welcoming Hotel Contà.
    Vineyard paths
  • Circular walk from Pieve di Soligo: 13.3km, 4.5hrs; ascent/descent 440m
    Today’s circular walk features two sanctuaries, with the second – Eremo di San Gallo – offering the most wonderful panoramas over the surrounding countryside. It’s reached by a trail that takes you first alongside the river before ascending through the vine-cloaked Collagù Hills to the small sanctuary of Collagù. There’s a traditional restaurant here where you can pause for refreshments before continuing to Eremo di San Gallo. Take time to admire the far-reaching views before making the steep descent back to the river and Pieve di Soligo.
    Collagù Hills
  • Pieve di Soligo to San Pietro di Barbozza: 14km, 4hrs; ascent 510m/descent 345m Shorter option: 10km, 4hrs; ascent 500m/descent 360m
    Amid the Prosecco Hills, there’s a tiny area – spanning only 106 hectares – from where the region’s rarest and finest bubbles originate. This is Cartizze, a breathtakingly beautiful landscape of rippling, thickly terraced hillsides that foster the optimum microclimate for Prosecco production. Following an included transfer to Farra (or to Col San Martino if you prefer a shorter walk), you traverse undulating hills to reach Cartizze’s prized vineyards, along the way enjoying a glimpse of World War I history – Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces once fought over this terrain. At route’s end, you stay at either Boutique Hotel Municipio 1815 or Agriturismo Vedova, both on the rural edges of Valdobbiadene.
    Col San Martino
  • Circular walk from San Pietro di Barbozza: 9.5km, 2.5hrs; ascent/descent 500m
    Opportunities for wine-tasting are plentiful today, as you navigate the hills east of Valdobbiadene – home to some highly prestigious vineyards. You can choose a shorter loop as far as the charming village of Santo Stefano or continue to Guia with its numerous wineries. Either way, don’t miss the Osteria Senz’Oste – a rustic tavern with remarkable views, as well as its very own Prosecco vending machine!
    Sample prosecco
  • San Pietro di Barbozza to Cison di Valmarino: 14.5km, 5hrs; ascent 580m/descent 550m
    A short transfer is included to Guia this morning, from where you cross over the northern ridge of the Prosecco Hills to reach your final, highlight hotel. As you walk, take time to admire the classic vineyard scenery that surrounds you, and to explore the charming villages you pass through. These include Follina, recognised as one of I Borghi più Belli d'Italia (‘Italy’s most beautiful villages’) and site of a magnificent Cistercian abbey. Quiet footpaths and back lanes lead you onwards to the base of the hill crowned by CastelBrando – the exceptional castle where you spend your last two nights. Reach its entrance via a stiff climb up the hill, or by continuing around its base to Cison di Valmarino, from where you can access CastelBrando by funicular railway.
    The village of Guia
  • Circular walk from Cison di Valmarino: 9.5km, 3.5hrs; ascent 490m/descent 590m
    Enter the foothills of the Venetian Pre-Alps today, on a peaceful circuit that ascends the western flank of a wooded valley before returning along its eastern side, beside the River Rujo. Known as the Route of Water, this trail reveals an enchanting landscape rich in history – look out for evidence of former mills, locks, and wash houses as you walk. The trail ends in Cison di Valmarino, a gorgeous village that unites historic churches with artisans’ workshops and the unusual Vintage Radio Museum. Once you’ve had the chance to explore, take the funicular train back up to your hotel.

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
  • We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines. As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. The fee for this service is £35 per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). More information on flights >
  • Absolutely! We are experts in tailored rail travel. Making use of sleeper trains or stopovers in cities along the route, we can get you from London to virtually anywhere in mainland Europe. We can even make arrangements to Mallorca, Sicily and Norway with a combination of ferries and rail. Please contact us to discuss your plans.
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
    The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can incur a five or six-figure bill.

    Many insurers offer travel insurance (you can find details on our insurance page of a policy that you may like to consider if you are a UK resident), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    When you purchase a policy, be sure to check that it covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Italy, but not a visa (please note, however, that a new travel authorisation system is being introduced). If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
  • The principal official language is Italian, though some regions have a second official language, such as South Tyrol, where German is widely spoken. The currency is the Euro. Italian time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
  • For information on the practicalities of travel now that the UK is no longer part of the European Union, visit www.gov.uk/visit-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-liechtenstein.
  • The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.

    If you live outside the UK, see our essential travel information page for a list of relevant websites.
  • You are the best judge of your child’s/children’s capabilities. We are happy to take bookings for families of older children/teenagers if they walk regularly, love the outdoors and are comfortable with the distances and ascent/descent involved. Please note that the bedrooms at most of the accommodation we use will normally only sleep a maximum of 3 people, and sometimes only 2.
