Good Hotels

We will stay in charming hotels situated in the heart of the towns to which we travel, including a 17th-century estate house. Each hotel is conveniently located for the day’s activities.

What To Expect

This trip has an activity rating of moderate; travelers should be physically fit and prepared for multiple hours of activity each day. Hikes range from 2 to 8 hours per day (3 to 12 miles), on moderate to steep grades. In certain areas, the high clay content of the forest terrain, as well as the stone steps of coastal trails, can be particularly slippery when wet. Vehicle support is provided at various points along the way, except in Cinque Terre, which is a car-free zone.

Accommodations
We stay in ideally located, well-appointed hotels with many amenities.

Expedition Team
