DifficultThe Sentiero Italia represents one of the most ambitious and fascinating projects in the Italian hiking scene.
A route that crosses the entire Peninsula, embracing mountains and valleys, coasts and plains, art cities and small hidden villages. This extraordinary adventure was born thanks to the support of the numerous sections of the Italian Alpine Club, a historic institution that for over a century has been dedicated to promoting mountain culture and protecting the Alpine and Apennine environments.
“Sentiero Italia CAI” is a composite project: it is not only about the route, the longest in the world, its maintenance and promotion, but a broader idea. A participatory project aimed at attracting diverse and varied interests, a hub around which to converge initiatives capable of boosting the economy of the Italian highlands, promoting in a new and lively way traditions, artisanal and natural specialties, and proposing a new, transversal, and shared culture.

A Lifetime Journey
With its 8000 km, the Sentiero Italia is not only a physical route but above all an emotional, cultural, and historical journey. It winds through 20 regions, 16 UNESCO sites, and numerous national and regional parks. Every step carries a story, every stage offers unforgettable emotions.
Discovering the Beautiful Country
From the deep south of Sicily to the Alpine peaks in the north, the Sentiero Italia offers a unique overview of the diversity and beauty of our territory. An experience that invites you not only to discover breathtaking places but also to immerse yourself in the traditions, history, and gastronomy of the communities encountered along the way.
A Sustainable Endeavor
Respect for the environment and local communities is at the heart of the Sentiero Italia project. Each section has been designed and cared for by CAI volunteers to guarantee the sustainability of the itinerary, enhancing biodiversity and promoting slow, conscious, and respectful tourism.
