Hiking in Italy

According to statistics, Italy is the 3rd most visited country globally, with 94 million visitors in 2019. The country is diverse in all definitions of the word, and there’s plentiful hiking everywhere in the country.

I will focus on the Northern areas such as South Tyrol (Alto Adige), home to the spectacular Dolomites, and the Aosta Valley, where the magnificent Gran Paradiso national park is.

Excellent food and wine are a given.
