Adventure Vacations in Italy
Our active adventure vacations in Italy are designed for travellers who want more than sightseeing, blending the country’s natural beauty with unforgettable outdoor experiences. Hike the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites, explore the colourful coastal trails of Cinque Terre, or enjoy leisurely countryside walks in Tuscany and Umbria with expert guides leading the way.
For cycling enthusiasts, our Italy bike tours offer routes for every level, from gentle rides through Chianti’s rolling vineyards to lakeside paths around Garda or challenging climbs in the Alps. With premium bikes, support vehicles, and carefully planned stops, every journey is as smooth as it is rewarding.
Italy’s waters also invite adventure. Paddle a kayak along the Amalfi Coast, try stand-up paddleboarding on Lake Como, or set sail on a private boat in Sardinia. These activities provide a new perspective on Italy’s landscapes and create lasting memories for active travellers.
Whether you’re looking for high-energy days or a mix of activity and relaxation, Italy Charme will tailor your adventure to your pace, ability, and style.
