Cultural Note

Hiking ('fare un'escursione') is hugely popular in Italy, with trails maintained by the CAI (Club Alpino Italiano). Mountain refuges ('rifugi') along the trails offer hearty meals and overnight stays. Italy's varied terrain means you can hike through alpine meadows, volcanic craters on Mount Etna, or along dramatic coastal cliffs.
