Italian Apennines: Walks & Wildlife is a great trip to rnjoy the pristine wilderness.
The area is beautiful, with snow capped peaks up to 3000 meters. The hikes are very doable, especially up to and back from the refugio. We visited the national parks and saw the good work that Rewilding Apennines is doing. Exodus donates the trip profits to them.
Most Inspirational Moment
Having the beautiful Abruzzo Apennines all to ourselves.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our guide, Filippo, has extensive knowledge of the area and its flora and fauna, and gladly shared it with us. From the hikes to spotting wildlife, to taking us to great places for some lunches and dinners, Filippo does a wonderful job and one can see his commitment to us and the work of Rewilding Apennines.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The usual, bring layers and rain gear. And be ready for a wonderful time.

Magical and life affirming trip in wild Italy
This trip on Rewilding the Apennines took us on incredible walks to magnificent views that made us feel we were the only people on earth. We had the opportunity to walk within an European old growth forest and see wolves, chamois, deer, a golden eagle and other wild animals (a bear in action on a camera-trap but not real life, unfortunately!). The walks were just the right amount of challenging and we trekked through stunning wilderness with our incredibly knowledgeable guide, Andrea – a former forester, who enhanced our experience with deep knowledge of the trees, animals and forest ecology. One of the days spent with the Rewilding Apennines team helped give an extra level of expertise about the challenges of nature preservation and community education. The meals on this trip were always freshly cooked and delicious!
Most Inspirational Moment
Sitting within the national park on the hillside at dusk in pure silence, watching the clouds move, the colours of the sky change and waiting for animals to emerge from the woods made me feel incredibly small and lucky to be able to be immersed in nature this way.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Andrea was fantastically knowledgeable about nature, trees and the region. He was very welcoming and made sure he spent time walking with everyone to get to know each group member.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The refuge is in a place that can only be reached by foot and is special for that very reason. No phone reception, just fresh air and beautiful views. Wildlife is also elusive - be prepared to enjoy the time it may take to see iconic species (and then only, if you are lucky)!
