Lace up your walking shoes and step into the heart of Italy’s Veneto region, where the UNESCO-listed Prosecco Hills offer a journey that blends natural beauty, cultural richness, and a deep sense of wellbeing. The Prosecco region is beautifully set in the undulating foothills of the Dolomites, where the dramatic alpine landscapes begin to soften into vine-covered slopes and wooded ridgelines. This natural transition zone, between mountain and plain, creates a unique microclimate ideal for growing Glera grapes—the foundation of the world-famous Prosecco Superiore DOCG. The Prosecco Hills Trail or Cammino delle Colline del Prosecco connects the historic towns of Vittorio Veneto and Valdobbiadene along a trail that winds through rolling vineyards, forested ridges, and hilltop villages inviting you to slow down and reconnect with nature and tradition. Walk at your own pace past ciglioni, iconic narrow terraced vineyards and panoramic viewpoints, pausing in timeless places like Serravalle and Pieve di Soligo to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy moments of quiet reflection. This walking trail offers a deep dive into a beautiful corner of the Veneto region, passing ancient watermills, panoramic ridgelines, and hidden valleys covered in vineyards that produce the world-famous sparkling wine. Whether you're travelling solo or with kindred spirits, this is a restorative escape—an invitation to breathe deeply, move mindfully, and embrace the joy of walking well.

Day 1
Arrive Vittorio Veneto/Serraville
Arrive in the charming town of Vittorio Veneto, nestled in the gentle foothills of the Dolomites, where history and nature come together in perfect harmony. Once the site of the pivotal WWI Battle of Vittorio Veneto, today this peaceful town invites exploration through its two historic districts—Serravalle, with its elegant Gothic palaces and winding cobbled streets, and Ceneda, home to a serene cathedral and leafy piazzas. Framed by vineyard-covered hills and close to the renowned Prosecco wine region, it’s the perfect starting point for a relaxed walking holiday. Take time to wander the quiet laneways, sip a local vintage, or stretch your legs on nearby trails and lakeside paths before the journey ahead.
