There are different walks to do in November in Italy: in autumn nature is at its best, the climate is often still warm and there are few people on the paths in Italy. For some routes it is the ideal month.
The woods are in full foliage and the villages, less crowded, are more suitable for welcoming those who go trekking and pampering them.
After the walks to do in October in ItalyNovember is also one of the ideal months for short or long excursions on foot and trekking on the most beautiful paths in our country.
Which is the best way to get to know our territory better: not just there nature eh villagesbut also the traditions not people who inhabit the places we pass through.

1. English Path, from Pentedattilo to Staiti (Calabria)
A journey on foot In the Heart of Aspromonte calabrese. 110 km in the footsteps of those who first told it, in the mid-19th century, the English landscape painter Edward Lear.
The itinerary continues and climbs the truly rugged and wild hills of this part of Calabria, in a step back in time truly magical and evocative. There is also the opportunity to get to know the culture Greekwhere the language and customs inherited from the colonies of Magna Graecia still live: the cuisine and the very folkloristic dances are unmissable!
The 7 stages explore characteristic villages, ghost towns, forests and surprising geological formations.
The path is not completely marked, but there are metal plates with the symbol of the wayfarer and the red-white signs.

2. Path of the Gods, from Agerola to Positano (Campania)
It is only about 9 km, to be covered in a day, but the Sentiero degli Dei (not to be confused with the Via degli Dei which goes from Bologna to Florence) is a pearl. It winds through the Lattari Mountains with a panoramic path in the middle of the Amalfi Coastconsidered one of the most beautiful routes in the world.
The Olympian gods came down here to save Ulysses from the Sirens, hence the name of the street, which is truly divine: the blue of the sea, Caprithe cavesi villages sailor and a natural skyline that leaves you breathless.

3. Path of the Wayfarer, from Lecco to Colico (Lombardy)
Beloved by Lombards and foreigners who pass through Lake Como, the Sentiero del Viandante is a fairly short route (45 km) and easy. It comes from ancient connecting route between Milan and Switzerland and for a long time it reached Abbadia Lariana, but now the stretch from Abbadia to Lecco has been completed. And everything is easier, thanks to the capillarity of public transport from Lecco.
You walk halfway up the hill and it only becomes challenging if you decide to do it in 3 days instead of 4.
November is a splendid month to do this: the air is crisp and the lake is immaculate, while in the woods that slope down towards the body of water the colors of autumn foliage.
The 3 intermediate stages stop in Lierna, Varenna and Dervio. there is only one deviation towards the interior (to Genico)

Seven stages between two of the most beautiful Italian cities, crossing the Murge and the hills of Basilicata. a tough experience in summer due to the heat that beats relentlessly on the path, but wonderful in autumn and spring, when weather and nature are on the walker’s side. November is perhaps the best month ever.
The Cammino Materano was born as a spiritual itinerary, a double way of exploring, which affects both the territory and our soul. The meetings you have and the sharing of ideas also count here values of the journey, the slow and meditative pace.
Ancient cities, woods, plains, cathedrals, rock churches, refined cuisine (don’t miss the bran peppers for anything in the world) are the ingredients of this journey which is actually divided into 5 paths.

They traced the routes that connect to the Francigena, giving life to a network of paths of over 900 km that crosses the whole of Sicily.
Thus new paths were born that cross the entire island for better or worse. The main one goes from Palermo to Agrigento, along the borders of the Norman diocese: 9 marked and signposted stages, among the inland mountains.
But you can also walk from Palermo to Messinapassing through the heights of Madonie and Nebrodi (it’s called Palermo-Messina through the mountains)
