Guided hike from Bivignano to Rimini
This year's guided hike is a very special highlight! We walk from Bivignano (Arezzo, Tuscany) through the Marche region to Rimini (Emilia Romagna) and admire our four-legged friends, who have already travelled this route 11 times. Of course, we can take a little more time for the almost 150 kilometres. And the final swim in the sea is of course a must.
By the way: We would also be happy to organise a suitable hike for your group - let us and our experience in this wild and romantic region inspire you!
Procedure of the hiking weeks
After arrival, we will move into our apartments/rooms and enjoy an aperitif and Tuscan dinner together in our pergola, and get to know each other.
The next day we will set off over hill and dale, through the wild and romantic Tuscany or other regions (route details will be announced shortly before the start of the tour - we will reconnoitre each section on foot and by mountain bike beforehand and save the stages with Komoot).
The daily distances will be between 15-22km, you should be a bit sporty, especially because our area has quite a few hills. After 6 daily stages, we return and enjoy a delicious local dinner for the last time before the big departure the following day. Surely with nostalgia, sore muscles and many great memories in our luggage.
In the event of heavy rain, an alternative programme may be organised spontaneously, but so far we've been very lucky.)
Hiking with light luggage
For hiking, we only take a light rucksack with the essentials. The rest of the luggage is transported luxuriously from place to place in our pick-up. The agriturismi usually offer double rooms, but there may also be a triple or quadruple flat. There is a small surcharge for single rooms.
Required equipment
The weather in June is good and yes, a little warmer. But even in October / November you can expect mostly dry weather and of course cooler nights. Something warm to wear is advisable: we eat outside whenever possible. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees; you will need to bring good shoes and rain gear, as well as a day rucksack for the essentials. Should the weather open its floodgates, we will spontaneously organise a bad weather programme. The agriturismi are typically Tuscan and give us a very warm welcome. Little insider tips, so to speak.
In short: every hike so far has been fantastic!
Dates 2025
The previous hiking weeks have given us and our participants so much pleasure that we are already planning this year's adventure. The autumn date has been set, join us on this wonderful journey on foot!
Past adventures
We have been enjoying the guided hikes for two years now. While the horses enjoy their holidays, we roam the wonderful Tuscan countryside on foot. Even though it is still a relatively recent highlight, we already carry many special memories with us.
2023 - Premiere!
Bivignano's first guided hiking week was simply fantastic. 8 hiking-loving bipeds plunged into the unknown adventure and hiked through the wonderful, autumnal landscape of Tuscany. We enjoyed the landscape to the full, as well as the various agriturismi where we stayed, the divine food and the time together. An absolute highlight that left such a strong impression that we have made it a permanent part of our programme.
2024
The 2024 hiking week was also a dream: St Peter gave us daily sunshine and T-shirt weather (in November, mind you), the agriturismi in Umbria and Tuscany were once again fantastic (there was everything to enjoy, from cosy rustic to luxurious - the food was a highlight every time). The atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious - we are already looking forward to the hike in 2025!
