WHY THIS HIKE

Hike in the Hills of Arquà with a final aperitivo at an olive mill.

Together with the guide Sara, we will walk along one of the most evocative paths in the Euganean Hills, learning to read the landscape from a unique and iconic natural terrace: the Pianoro del Mottolone.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

During the excursion, there will be botanical snippets, with many curiosities related to the natural world.

At the end of the activity, for those who wish, it will be possible to participate in an aperitivo at an olive mill* with local wines, stuffed focaccia, chips, pickles, croutons with olive pâté and sandwiches with hazelnut spread. And for the more curious, it will also be possible to visit the Colle del Poeta olive mill with a small oil tasting.

* Aperitivo: € 15.00 per person. (Price not included in the activity fee, please indicate your participation when registering)

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Sara, an environmental hiking guide: born in Trentino, adopted by the Veneto. I have a degree in Cultural Tourism and I love art, culture and nature — three things that meet on a trail more often than people think. I guide out of passion and work as a web marketing specialist in the hotel sector out of necessity: that's the order, and you can tell. Among my projects, in 2015 I started the online community "In viaggio con Fido", for people who love travelling with their four-legged friend. If you have a dog, that's not a problem with me: it's one more reason. Come with me and you'll get a day planned for people and for tails. 🐕 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
