In the Picentini Mountains Regional Park, in the province of Avellino, springs, beech woods and plateaus shape the mountainous heart of Irpinia. A vast, water-rich park, practically unknown to hiking tourism.

In the Pollino National Park, straddling Basilicata and Calabria, you walk among thousand-year-old Bosnian pines: a vast, remote area far from the tourist routes, where the trails stay silent even in high season.

The Nebrodi Park, in the province of Messina, safeguards the largest forest in Sicily, with high-altitude lakes and Sanfratellano horses roaming wild. Those in search of beaches alone overlook it entirely, leaving this green plateau to a handful of walkers.

In the Madonie Park, in the province of Palermo, Pizzo Carbonara is the second-highest peak in Sicily. Among giant hollies and karst dolines, an almost Alpine world opens up, ignored by those who know the island only for its sea.

In the Sila National Park, in the province of Cosenza, the Sentiero Italia crosses pine forests, lakes and the monumental Giants of the Sila. A Calabrian plateau with a Nordic air, far from the seaside routes and almost always deserted.

In the heart of the Gargano Promontory, in the province of Foggia, the Foresta Umbra protects centuries-old beeches and monumental yews just a few kilometres from the sea. While the coasts fill with bathers, these shady trails remain almost deserted.

In the Alta Murgia National Park, between the provinces of Bari and Barletta, you walk through a silent Mediterranean steppe, among isolated farmsteads and the unmistakable silhouette of Castel del Monte. A harsh landscape that stays off every tourist circuit.

In the Monti Ernici, in the province of Frosinone, Pizzo Deta offers solitary crests on the border between Lazio and Abruzzo. A wild, little-visited chain that lives in the shadow of its more famous neighbouring parks.

On the Matese massif, straddling Molise and Campania, Monte Miletto looms over karst lakes, high pastures and woods where roe deer have been thriving again since their reintroduction in 2008. A borderland mountain, rich in nature and well off every tourist trail.
