Still processing the last 4-5 days spent traversing the hills of Barolo and the Alta Langa on foot with , walking more than 50 kilometers through vineyards, chestnut and hazelnut groves, quiet little villages, and undulating hills and valleys in the Piedmont region of Italy. We arrived as a group of strangers and leave as new friends who feel more like family ❤️

This is my second trip with (after Calabria last year), and I’m so grateful for these opportunities that really don’t exist anywhere else on this scale, and for the apparent magic surrounding the factors which bring us together: kindness, warmth, a wicked sense of humor, respect, and overall an interest in traveling slowly on foot. The next-level wine, truffles and epic food help too! 🍷

Massive thank you to Rudston and this wonderful Barolo Crew for an absolutely fantastic week! 🇮🇹

I love the intuitive creative process of starting to research a brand new trip. It’s like dancing with a stranger—one you’ve been checking out on the sly for some time across the dancefloor. Ever since I followed the Aterno River valley on foot for 7 days from Sulmona to L’Aquila back in 2016 I’ve been longing to return to Abruzzo to explore the Campo Imperatore area below Gran Sasso mountain (at 2912m the highest peak in the Appenines). Happily I—finally—got to spend last week walking myriad paths steep and flat and high and low, and visiting as many hotels, agriturismi, restaurants, medieval castles, abandoned monasteries, weird refuges and oddball “arrosticini” joints as I could find scattered about the spectacular plateau above Santo Stefano di Sessanio. My kind of research literally involves plenty of legwork and trial-and-error; many times I had to turn back when a path simply disappeared in the dust, or a trail clearly marked on an old map failed to materialize in the field. But the evidence is clear: this part of Abruzzo is a remarkable and fascinating corner of the planet, perfectly suited to exploring on foot. It will take another round or two of research before I come up with my definitive journey through Abruzzo’s stunning landscapes—but I’m confident I’ll have the itinerary ready to roll for next summer. Bring on the Abruzzo Safari 2024 woohoo! Extra special thank you to my family for being the best research team ever, and particularly to Maremma Safari’s resident ninja and photographer extraordinaire my amazing wife for her unwavering love and support, without which no safaris new or old in Abruzzo or anywhere else would be possible ❤️ #2024

Thanks to this wonderful walking crew for a spectacular 5 days together in Tuscany—after last year’s drought it was fantastic to see the local Monte Amiata landscape looking so stunningly green and lively

Defintely good walking karma!

Also a special thank you to all the amazIng places and people we stay and eat and drink and laugh and sing with along the way, who make this trip totally unique Looking forward to the next round!

There are parts of Calabria that feel as far removed from the hugger-mugger of modern life as an Arctic ice floe. On Day 3 of our Aspromonte Safari we walk from the town of Bova, up on its hill, to the hamlet of Amendolea, a cluster of houses strung out along its eponymous river (called a fiumara) far below. The fiumara is a broad boulevard of bone-white boulders, curling and cornering from the high Aspromonte mountains all the way to the Ionian Sea. For most of the year it runs almost dry, but occasionally swells with winter flooding, frothing riverine thunder as the boulders rumble and roil downstream.⁠

Aeolian Safari, Day 3: a dawn dip in the sparkling Bay of Pollara, then we climb to the summit of Monte dei Porri, an extinct volcano; after saying hi to the Eleonora's Falcons up there we drop steeply to the saddle at Valdichiesa and on down to the sea at Malfa, where the beach awaits. And mulberry granitas of course.⁠

Gola de Gorropu is the deepest gorge in Italy, its sheer walls rising a spectacular 500m above the Flumineddu River floor. We explore it on Day 3 of our Supramonte Safari, before climbing the Silana Pass to our hotel. The next morning we walk all the way down to the sea at Cala Luna, for a well-deserved swim in the stunning Orosei Gulf 😎⁠ ⁠ We still have spots available on our autumn trip: 4-9 October 2022, €1645 per person.
