Calanchi di Torranello, Parco Vena del Gesso Romagnola | Ph. Giosbriff WLE2019
Certainly the largest hiking route in Emilia Romagna, the “Alta Via“ is a fantastic itinerary to explore the Apennines between Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany and Marche.
Almost 500 kilometers of ascents and descents that summarize in itself the best that the Apennine mountains can offer with glacial cirques, lakes immersed in the splendor of high altitude meadows, endless forests, clear streams, volcanic cliffs and chalk cliffs on that ridge between Europe and the Mediterranean.
The Alta Via owes its name to the fact that it crosses a total of eight natural parks: two national parks (Parco dell’Appennino Tosco Emiliano – Parco delle Foreste Casentinesi e dei monti Falterona e Campigna); five regional parks (Parco dell’Alto Appennino Modenese, Valli del Cedra e Parma, Corno alle Scale, Laghi di Suviana e Brasimone, Vena del Gesso); and an interregional park (Sasso Simone Simoncello).
The path of the “Alta Via” is usually divided into 27 stages, so it can be tackled in some individual stages and is clearly identifiable by hikers thanks to special coordinated signage.
You can also find the downloadable GPS tracks of the 27 stages that make up the itinerary; files can also be downloaded individually, in GPX format.
It is also available the Maps4You App (available for both Android and Apple), a free application which presents a list of specific thematic maps, in addition to all the other trails of the Emilia-Romagna Region.
