Why this trip
Southern Italy as it still does not look everywhere: Calabria has mountains, forests and coasts that give more away on foot than from a car. In the Parco Nazionale della Sila hiking trails wind through pine forests and around reservoirs, with clear mountain air and a level of challenge that is manageable even for beginners. If you bring more fitness, plan longer stages across the high plateaus. On the coast the walk to Capo Vaticano is worthwhile, where cliffs and small coves offer a panorama that can be combined with a hike and a swim in the sea.
In Scilla the old fishing village lies at the foot of a rock, and Gerace sits enthroned on a hilltop whose lanes with steep steps challenge legs and view. The best time is April to June and September to October, when temperatures allow hiking. From Switzerland the flight takes approx. 1 to 1.5 hrs, and entry is visa-free in the Schengen area.
Lecce, Bari and Sicily come into question as neighbours. You discuss the shape of the trip with Adventure by video call.
