Full Description
Discover a wilder side of Italy from the jagged peaks of the Dolomites to Tuscany's rolling hills. This Wild Guide uncovers over 800 hidden places across Northern Italy, including turquoise alpine lakes, hot springs, balcony paths, wildflower meadows and remote stone villages. Forage in chestnut woods, spot Alpine ibex and chamois in the Aosta Valley's high meadows, and trace strange geology along Friuli's karst edge. Paddle quiet coves and calm lakes, ride rock-cut balcony roads and easy valley cycleways, visit hermitages perched on crags and others deep in hushed forests, and walk wartime tunnels and the Etruscan Vie Cave. With lush photography, detailed maps, and practical tips, it's packed with ideas for wild swimming, hiking, cycling, foraging and slow travel. Discover magical places to stay from off-grid agriturismi and vineyard retreats to mountain refuges and explore Italy's most authentic, soulful and untamed landscapes.
