Italy
Known for its distinctive 'boot' shape that juts southwards into the Mediterranean, Italy has a long and illustrious history. The Roman Empire was, of course, founded here and Rome itself was for centuries the centre of Western civilisation. In the north of the country on the border with France, Switzerland and Austria, the Italian Alps and the striking limestone range of the Dolomites provide unlimited opportunities for exciting trekking and climbing holidays. These can be as varied as making an ascent of Gran Paradiso (the only uniquely Italian 4000 metre summit) or hiking and scrambling on the 'via ferrata' of Val Badia. Further south, the famously beautiful Amalfi Coast is a great location for an easy walking week, including an ascent of Vesuvius. Sicily and Sardinia are the two largest Mediterranean islands and they both belong to Italy. There is excellent walking on each of them, including (on Sicily) the chance to hike on Mount Etna.
