Great Traverse of Elba

italian beaches, The Great Traverse of Elba Island is probably what you are looking for. Four days of amazing trails with an avarege of 6-7 hours of hike and 1000m altitude gain and loss everyday, from the peaks to the sandy beaches and a good gelato or a cold beer as a reward after the hiking day (and why not a swim!). Elba Island is part of the Arcipelago Toscano, made by 7 islands, half way between Rome and Florence. A land rich of history, being inhabited since the Paleolitic time, land of the Etrurians then the Romans and many others populations; the most celebrated man living in Elba was Napoleon, here exiliated for a while. It’s the third island of Italy for extensions, a lot of trails going up and down, passing by the typical mediterranean vegetations (the spring is a blooming of flowers and smells), a lot of nice villas, different geology and amazing landscapes over the other islands and Tuscany. The hike could be tailor made according to the fitness level.



Overnight Staying Details

we’ll be staying the 3 nights at the hotel Eden, located close by Marina di Campo, but everyday we’ll be driven to the trailhead and picked up at the end of the day, after enjoying a rest at the beach/bar. This means that we don’t have to carry all of our items with us.
