The Path of the Gods needs no introduction. Saturday we explored this iconic trail with a small international group โ€“ reaching it entirely by public transport (train, bus, ferry), which made the journey even more special. And it truly delivered: endless coastal views, encounters with horses, mules, and Neapolitan goats along the way, plus plenty of local flavors like freshly made cheese and refreshing lemon juice straight from the source.

A big thank you to all our hikers who joined โ€“ such a great group and a day to remember together.

Just a short distance from Rome, the landscape suddenly feels wild. Reeds moving in the breeze, the quiet flow of the Tiber, and wildlife constantly appearing along the riverbanks.

Guided by Alessandro on behalf of Nature of Sal, our international group explored the protected wetlands of the Tevereโ€“Farfa Nature Reserve โ€” a hidden sanctuary where nature quietly thrives.

One of the highlights of the day was drifting along the Tiber in a small boat, seeing the reserve from a completely different perspective. Surrounded by water, birds, and silence, it felt like discovering a secret corner of Lazio.

At the same time, with another group, Sal guided a hike along the urban stretch of the Tiber in Rome, an important wildlife corridor within the city.

Thanks to everyone who joined, see you at the next hike! ๐Ÿ™

๐ŸšจFor our hikers: The Monumental Pine Forest of Fregene, near Fiumicino (Pineta Monumentale di Fregene) is closed from February 12, 2026, until further notice following the sighting of a six-wolf pack. ๐Ÿบ

The measure protects both public safety and the wolves themselve (since it's a protected species essential to the local ecosystem)

While yesterday #Rome was wrapped in rain and grey skies, our hikers trusted our meteorological reading โ€“ and were rewarded just over an hour away in #Abruzzo. Deep, fresh #snow greeted us, and as we snowshoed above 1800โ€ฏm, the clouds parted, the sun appeared, and the landscape transformed into pure winter magic.

Knowing where and when to go really makes all the difference. We finished the day perfectly with local, authentic food in a nearby #mountain spot โ€“ delicious and well earned.

Guiding private and small-group #hikes in English lets us share days like this โ€“ discovering quiet corners, fresh snow, and hidden views just outside the city.

Between Lazio and Abruzzo, winter shifts the rhythm: quieter landscapes, compact snow, clear air. Snowshoeing is a simple, accessible way to move through it โ€“ steady pace, no rush. Dress in layers, bring water, and let the season lead.

This Sunday, our international group wandered through hidden parks, spotted free-roaming animals, and discovered ancient aqueducts under the shadow of a dormant volcano. Walking together reminded us how curiosity and nature connect people from all over the world โ€“ even in the middle of a bustling city. Thanks to everyone who joined!

Last Saturday, we organised a community hike (by train from Rome!) through the ancient forest of Manziana and its hidden trails, exploring the volcanic Caldara and its geothermal features. We talked geology, history, and conservation while walking through a landscape shaped thousands of years ago. Hikers joined from Iceland, the UK, Ireland, the US, Sweden, and Italy โ€“ turning the day into a rich exchange of stories, culture, and shared wonder.

One of our hikers just said it: โ€œHiking is a great metaphor for life.โ€

Uphill climbs. Challenges. Unexpected turns. Moments of joy. Surprises along the path. And at the end? Youโ€™re happy you were part of it. Every step matters. Every view counts.

Start hiking. Find out who you are.

Join our international hiking community!
Small groups. Global. Trusted.

I left a corporate job in Germany and walked into the mountains. I didnโ€™t know it yet, but that first step changed everything.
