An Inntraveller's view

"An excellent introduction to self guided walking holidays. Well organised and the walking notes were ideal to give us confidence. Great hotels with nice little quirks and helpful staff. Transfers were smooth and timely. Loved walking between the hotels without having to worry about the bags. All in all a fantastic start to our walking holiday adventures."

Where to go walking in Italy

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.

Recommendation from the Inntravel team

"Puglia's Gargano Peninsula offers just the kind of experience you wouldn't expect from this up-and-coming Italian region. It is very much off the beaten track, with a striking mix of ancient forest, emerald seas, and a sacred pilgrim town."

How our walking holidays in Italy are graded

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 – including in the Dolomites and Cottian Alps. 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.
  • On our gentle stroll in the Italian Dolomites, you'll cover between 2-8.5km per day with few ascents or descents. An excellent local transport network allows you to get up high without the need for strenous climbs, paving the way for easy walks on the Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm), Europe's largest high mountain plateau. A number of lower-level trails also give you the option of exploring the valleys below.
  • You don't have to be a seasoned hiker to enjoy our grade 1-2 Italian walks, which take in a host of enticing – and very different – landscapes. Discover pristine nature reserves in western Sicily, the celebrated hill-top towns of Tuscany, or the quieter side of Lake Garda. As a general rule, expect between 5-15km each day – with the occasional hill thrown in.
  • You'll be challenged in places on our grade 2 explorations of Italy, but enjoy superb views. Whether you're walking between the timeless villages of the Cinque Terre or Amalfi Coast, or uncovering the hidden highlights of Puglia's little-known Gargano Peninsula, there are some remarkable sights to see. Days typically consist of 10-15km, across varied terrain with regular ascents and descents.
  • Think rugged terrain that challenges and rewards in equal measure. Choose from inviting trails in the unspoiled Apennine Mountains, a breathtaking walk amid the Dolomites' Three Peaks, and a highly fulfilling journey along the Via degli Dei between Bologna and Florence. Distances of 7-20km per day are usual, and routes involve significant ascent and descent.
  • Our most thrilling walks in Italy involve full days on the trails, more challenging terrain, and testing ascents and descents, but there's still time to appreciate your surroundings. These could include the Dolomites' highest peaks, the enchanting Cottian Alps – close to the French border, or even the spectacular mountains of the Mont Blanc massif.
  • Some of our Italian walking holidays offer a choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements. Among our most flexible breaks are an exploration of the Italian Riviera's quieter side – with the chance to visit the famous Cinque Terre villages – and a discovery of South Tyrol's tranquil Senales Valley.

Italy walking holiday FAQs

  • There are different walking holidays in Italy to choose from, each with different lengths and walking grades. Browse the holidays that are available, and choose one that suits your schedule.

    It's also important that you check the weather before you travel and follow the latest travel advice before deciding which trip to book and when.
  • We want you to enjoy every moment of your holiday. That's why we take care of the finer details. On our tours, you'll be able to tuck into some pre-booked meals, take your pre-booked transfers, and, depending on the holiday, you might even get to tuck into afternoon cake and pastries.

    But you're in control too. Being able to start on your preferred day, unlike with a traditional walking tour, means you can explore Italy on your walking holiday at your own pace. You can even book extra nights if you don't want the trip to end!

    Whether you're exploring Umbria's hidden villages or heading along the Amalfi Coast, benefit from support while you're out there too, such as luggage transfers for hotel-to-hotel walking holidays.
  • You can use our walking grade guide on this page to get an idea of the different levels available for our holidays in Italy. This will help you decide which is the best fit for you and your party. Many of our most popular trips are at Grades 1 and 2, making them suited to those who like gentle treks or slight hills.

    However, there are a few Grade 3 holidays for those who are up for a challenge. Highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc, for instance, takes in France and Switzerland as well as Italy and is one of the most testing ascents in Europe.

    We recommend reading the holiday details carefully so you can decide which is the best match for you. Read our detailed blog to get some insights into the walks and what they entail. If you're still unsure, our team of experts can answer any questions you have.
  • Masserie are mostly located in Puglia, and they are typically renovated farmsteads. Lots of the masserie still have orchards and farmland, showing their history and creating picturesque settings for you to stay in on your walking tour. Although they're steeped in history, the masserie are mostly hotels with all the homely luxuries to make you feel welcome. From outdoor pools to fully furnished rooms, they are beautifully
