Hiking in the Dolomites
Hiking is the ideal activity for those who want to immerse themselves in nature, stay active and admire extraordinary landscapes without requiring excessive physical exertion. From the English word “to hike,” this term denotes a true en plain air walk that, unlike hiking, is often less strenuous and has a maximum duration of one day.
“In every nature walk you receive much more than you seek.”
– John Muir
The Dolomites, with their vast network of paths, are an ideal destination for trekking, especially in summer, when the alpine flora is at its best and the mild climate makes every walk pleasant, even in the hottest hours.
The pleasure of walking in the midst of unspoilt nature, listening to the sound of the wind in the leaves or a babbling brook, has many benefits: it improves cardiovascular health, tones the muscles and helps to maintain fitness in a pleasant and natural way.
At the same time, contact with the natural environment reduces everyday stress, promotes mental well-being, reduces anxiety and improves concentration.
“To walk in the mountains is to listen to the beat of the world under one’s steps.”
– Fabrizio Caramagna
