Step into Italy - 4 Dreamy Destinations and 5 Reasons to Explore them on Foot

From sun-kissed vineyards to stunning coastlines – here’s why walking is the best way to experience Italy’s charm. Here at Involved Holidays, we have put together the ultimate guided walking holidays, giving you the opportunity to explore Italy’s landscapes, culture and cuisine – one scenic step at a time.

Top 5 reasons why each of our Italian destinations are perfect for an unforgettable walking holiday

Tuscany & Liguria

1. Gentle trails through rolling countryside

Explore golden fields and peaceful vineyards under the Tuscan sun. The pretty views are calming, the walking is soothing, and the scenery is unforgettable.

2. Medieval hilltop towns to discover on foot

Walking in Nozzano Castello and Lucca feels like stepping back in time. Explore castles, winding alleys, and quiet corners full of character.

3. Ancient paths meet mountain views

A highlight of a walking holiday in Tuscany is how close you are to the southern Apuan Alps Range. Visit the stunning ‘Devil’s Bridge’ and walk along the ridge of the mountain which was used during WW2. 

4. Art and architecture at every turn

Even on foot, Tuscany’s culture surrounds you – ancient chapels in the countryside, Roman roads and Renaissance jewels hiding in tiny villages.

5. Peaceful pace and perfect company

Walking as part of a group and knowledgeable walking guides, you’ll feel supported every step of the way. There’s always time to pause, take in the scenic views and enjoy finding out more about what Tuscany has to offer.
