Hiking is not limited to day trips and easy paths. Thanks to the good hiking route network, you can go on outdoor adventures lasting several days in Italy. Also, the network of paths in Bella Italia is not limited to national borders. European long-distance hiking trails such as the E1, E5, E7 and E12 extend over several kilometers and lead directly from neighboring countries to Italy.
