Trekking in Chianti



If you love very much the nature and you can appreciate a slow discover, step by step, Chianti will reveal itself to you in a unique way! Just do not forget the good rules of any "trekker": proper shoes, clothing "in layers", K-way, a bottle of water and something to eat. Have you prepared your backpack, are you ready ?

Do not hesitate to ask the Tourist Promotion Agencies or the InfoPoints that you will find in the main centers of Chianti: definitely this is the best way to get very detailed maps of trekking routes for all ages, with different lenghts and levels of difficulty, according to your preferences.

The Chianti offers a wider range of paths, mule tracks, no-car streets through the woods, the fields and the vineyards, away from traffic and noise, that allow you to discover the nature and enjoy an energizing holiday.

Do trekking is great, even better if together! For instance, on the website of the Guides Office ( https://www.ufficioguide.it/chianti.htm ) you can find many proposals of beautiful hikes, of average difficulty, around Greve. Or, if you desire to go somewhere in particular, you can contact expert and certified mountain guides who organize tailored excursions for small groups. Try asking, for example, to https://www.soleombra.com .

And finally, if you want to do trekking "seriously", there are even complete books with suggested routes.... “A piedi nel Chianti” (=Trekking in Chianti) by Arrighi and Mancinelli, or, for the most braves, “A piedi da Firenze a Siena, a Roma” (= On feet from Florence to Siena, and to Rome) by Stefano Ardito that suggests a long trip through Chianti, from North to South, walking through Impruneta, Montefioralle, Coltibuono Abbey, Gaiole, Brolio Castle.... you can do it in 5 days! Finally, on the website of the publisher ITER ( https://www.iteredizioni.it ) you can find useful material, maps and itineraries gathered in three volumes: "A piedi in Toscana” (=Walking in Tuscany).

Nice walk to everybody!
