The Valle di Comino, in the southern Ciociaria, is the Lazio side of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park: an agricultural basin of medieval villages, abbeys and beech woods that almost nobody knows. Here tourism gathers elsewhere, and the trails and villages remain lived-in and silent.

The Monti della Laga, on the border between Lazio, Abruzzo and Marche within the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, are the only sandstone and marl mountains of the central Apennines: for this reason they hold water and fill with streams, waterfalls and beech forests. They stay deserted because everyone rushes to the nearby Gran Sasso or the Sibillini.

The Matese massif, straddling Molise and Campania, is one of the wildest and least trodden mountains in the Centre-South: high-altitude plateaus, sinkholes, Lake Matese and peaks such as the Gallinola and Monte Miletto. Off the tourist routes, it offers silence and boundless pastures just a few hours from Naples and Rome.

The Vallo di Diano is a long, flat basin between the mountains of the Cilento and the Lucanian Apennines, in Campania. Almost everyone crosses it by motorway without stopping, and yet it holds the monumental Charterhouse of Padula and the Pertosa-Auletta Caves: a slow itinerary in a territory people only pass through.

Sauris (Zahre) is a German-speaking linguistic island in the Carnic Alps, in the province of Udine, reachable only through a narrow gorge: getting there takes time, and that is exactly what keeps it far from the crowds. A loop among a turquoise lake, alpine huts and ham, in the heart of one of Friuli's most secluded valleys.

The Cammino Balteo is a long loop that crosses the lower and middle Aosta Valley following the Dora Baltea, among castles, heroic vineyards and valley-floor villages. While the high mountains fill up in summer, here you can walk in spring and autumn too, along a little-trodden route made for slow travel.

The Val Resia, in the Julian Alps in the province of Udine, at the foot of Monte Canin, is one of the most peculiar and least touristy valleys of the whole alpine arc. A community with a language, music and dances all its own, keeper of traditions found nowhere else: a slow journey into a world apart, still far from the mass routes.

Straddling the provinces of Belluno and Treviso, the Cansiglio plateau is one of the great beech forests of northern Italy, and yet it stays off the main flows: no fashionable lifts, no postcard villages, just forest, pastures and small Cimbri communities. Few visit it, and you walk in silence.

A side valley of the Val di Sole, in Trentino, the Val di Rabbi is protected by the Stelvio National Park: waterfalls, mountain dairies, larches and a Tibetan bridge in a wild setting. A few kilometres from the crowded ski resorts of the Val di Sole, here you walk in silence.
