Rieti On the trail

Guided hikes in the Rieti mountains

Rieti

The Apennines start behind Rieti and carry on a long way. The walks here come in versions: a plain one, one that ends with dinner in a refuge, one with a sommelier, one with yoga, one that waits for the stars.

How the day goes

  1. Pick the format first: the route is chosen to match it.
  2. Out into the mountains around Rieti, from easy ridges to long climbs.
  3. The evening versions end in the dark, at a table or under the sky.

Routes and meeting points are settled when you book, so it works as a plan made ahead rather than an idea on the morning.
