Trekking or hiking is a physical activity based on walking both along paths (road, trails) or free, outside fixed paths.
Generally, it is practiced in the mountains or in another natural environment, and during trekking you often have time to stop, relax, catch your breath and, above all, admire scents and listen the sound of nature; it can be also combined with other natural activities like bird-watching, the observation of botanical species or tours to visit monuments and natural phenomena along the path.

In the last years this activity has become very popular in Italy and has expanded like wildfire, especially in summer. Walking in the mountains and in the middle of nature is the healthiest choice you can take. Fresh and pure air helps to relax and to remove stress. Like other sports, even trekking requires a certain athletic preparation to face both simple paths, suitable for beginners and families with children, and more complex trails with important slopes, altitude and dirt and steep roads of the slopes.
