Description
A long-distance trek along the Apennine heights.
The GEA connects Bocca Trabaria with Passo Due Santi, traversing mountains, forests, and valleys in central and northern Italy. This book illustrates how this landscape can be experienced as a continuous trek. The journey offers a different perspective on the country than the more well-known city and coastal trips, with ancient connections and small towns forming a natural part of the experience along the way.
Twenty-three stages with options for division.
The approximately 400-kilometer route is described in 23 stages of varying lengths. This provides a concrete starting point for a multi-week trek, but also offers the flexibility to choose shorter sections. You may utilize the book over several holidays, with plans adapted to transport and accommodation, rather than necessarily completing the entire route within one continuous stay in the region.
Maps, profiles, and practical route information.
Descriptions and maps are supported by details on distance, elevation gain, and estimated walking time. Planning material facilitates understanding the connections between areas and selecting an itinerary that suits one’s capacity. The book is useful both for gaining an overview before departure and for choosing a shorter trekking section that can provide enjoyable days in the Apennine mountain landscape and forests.
Assess multi-day exertion and current conditions.
Long stages, elevation differences, and varied terrain require a reasonable level of fitness and thorough planning. Weather, heat, and available accommodation should be investigated prior to the trek. This guide is suitable for trekkers seeking a flexible Italian long-distance route who can utilize maps and descriptions in conjunction with updated local information when selecting stages, transport, and specific accommodations for their planned period in the mountains.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher emerged from climbers and mountaineers who wished to share their in-depth knowledge of routes – a tradition that continues to characterize the publisher’s books on hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
