Trekking tours in Maremma Toscana
Walking in Tuscany Italy

Trekking Week with different walking tours

During your walking tours in Tuscany you will discover an untouched and “wild“ region of Italy. Most of the treks follow easy to walk trails, some on gravel road, some through thick vegetation and some over fields and through woods without proper paths. We recommend waterproof trekking shoes for crossing small rivers. On most tours you can also go only half way and meet us for a midday picnic and a lift back to the hotel. This flexibility makes the treks suitable for all hikers, including those with minimum fitness.
