This comprehensive guide covers the Grand Apennines Trek, offering insights on routes, accommodations, and preparation for an unforgettable hiking experience.

This guidebook serves as an essential companion for those embarking on the Grand Apennines Trek, also known as the Grande Escursione Appenninica (GEA). Spanning 400 kilometers through the stunning landscapes of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, this trek offers a unique opportunity to explore the majestic mountains, lush forests, and rolling hills of central Italy. Designed for trekkers of varying experience levels, the trail can be tackled in its entirety over 23 days or divided into shorter sections for day hikes, making it accessible to all who wish to experience the beauty of the Apennines.

Trekking in the Apennines provides detailed descriptions of the route, which stretches from Bocca Trabaria to Passo Due Santi. The path is well-marked and features a mix of walking trails, forestry tracks, and quiet lanes. Each of the 23 stages is clearly graded by difficulty, with distances ranging from 8 to 25 kilometers. The guidebook also includes valuable information on accommodations available at the end of each stage, allowing trekkers to plan their journey with ease. For those who prefer a more rugged experience, camping options are available on select segments of the trail.

In addition to route descriptions, the guidebook is enriched with sketch maps and elevation profiles to aid navigation. It also offers practical advice on preparation and planning, including comprehensive notes on accommodation and facilities along the way. Compact enough to fit in a jacket pocket, Trekking in the Apennines is a must-have for anyone seeking adventure in one of Italy's most beautiful regions.
