Italy

Jump to Topic: Location Guides | Multi-Day Cycling Routes | Hut to Hut Hikes

Italy is one of my favourite places for an active adventure, from hut to hut hiking in the Dolomites and South Tyrol to lakeside trails, multi-day cycling and exploring southern Italy by bike.

I’ve hiked, cycled and travelled through some very different corners of the country, finding brilliant hut to hut hikes, traffic-free cycle routes, mountain huts and places worth exploring.

Everything here comes from our own trips, with practical routes and ideas to help you plan an active holiday in Italy.

I cover all the practical details too: from choosing the right route to finding great places to stay, and I love using Europe’s brilliant train network to make the journey part of the adventure.
