    FAQs

    To be able to enjoy and make the most of this holiday, you must be in very good physical condition and feel comfortable walking on terrain with considerable ascents and descents.

    We suggest you book once you have decided your travel dates to ensure availability. Please note that the months with the highest demand are May, September and October.

    The most important thing is that you bring everything you need to make yourself comfortable. For example, comfortable boots, windbreaker and waterproof jacket, and walking stick as additional support for some ascents and descents.

    A backpack to carry during the day your cap, sunglasses and sun protection.

    May, September and October are the best months to travel, however, it is good to keep in mind that they are the ones that fill up the fastest.

    July and August are also excellent months, because although in other areas of Italy the temperature rises quite a bit, this region is very pleasant to walk through during the summer. 

    Yes, it's included. We will transfer the luggage between each accommodation according to your itinerary. Each person can take a suitcase up to 20 kg (45 lbs).
