Alta Via dei Parchi

What the Region does

Alta Via dei Parchi is a trail to hike all along the Apennines between Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Marche. It crosses several parks, two national, five regional and one interregional, and allows to discover the best that the Apennine mountains can offer.
The path is about 500 kilometers long and it is divided into 27 stages.

You can chose to walk this long hike by single stage, or by taking longer trekkings of two or more days thanks to the possibility to reach most of the access points to the trail by public transportation or by private taxis.

Through the Alta Via dei Parchi and the Ciclovie dei Parchi, Emilia-Romagna Region promotes nature conservation and the valorization of the whole regional system of protected areas, also by development of sustainable tourism models.
In particular, the Region approved and funded the interventions proposed by the managing bodies of the Parks and coordinated the various actions of the project Alta Via dei Parchi:

• maintenance of the trail tracks;
• realization of a coordinated signage (coordinated image manual (pdf, 13.11 MB) - Alta Via dei Parchi – available only in Italian);
• production of disseminative and promotional material (brochures, guide, hiking maps, hiker notebook) and organization of dedicated events.
