Description
Let your next journey begin here. Italy can be experienced just as well in hiking boots as from a café table. Best Day Walks Italy provides 60 suggested routes, ranging from a few hours’ break to full days outdoors. Use the book to find a nature experience near your destination, or let the walks be the starting point for a more active holiday.
The selection includes the Dolomites, the Italian lakes, and the Sardinian coast. The guide also covers regions such as Tuscany, Liguria, Abruzzo, Sicily, Umbria, Le Marche, and Campania with the Amalfi Coast. This allows for combining several types of landscapes or spending more time in a single region you already wish to visit.
What you get in the guide. The route descriptions include maps and information on duration, distance, terrain, start and finish points, and difficulty levels. The book features over 60 maps, regional reviews, and content on family-friendly walks and equipment. This helps you choose a walk based on both your interests and fitness level.
From a desire to hike to a concrete plan. Use the route descriptions to compare options before you decide. How much of the day do you want to spend outdoors, and what kind of terrain do you wish to walk in? Maps and information on start and finish points help you see how the walk fits into the rest of your holiday. This provides a better basis for choosing according to your own interests rather than just following the name of the most famous location.
A physical hiking guide makes it easy to flip through several options with your travel companions. Find a few alternatives you would like to explore further and allow the plan to remain flexible. A shorter walk can be just as good a choice as a full day out. The book can be used as a supplement to a standard travel guide or as inspiration for a holiday where day walks take center stage.
