1. Biking to Venice<\/h2>\n

3 boats, 25 km, 3 hours and 1 bike. These are the ingredients for a lovely bike ride from Chioggia<\/strong>, known as the Little Venice, to the original Venice,<\/strong> la Serenissima, as it was referred to in the past.
\nOur itinerary starts from Chioggia biking through the town and reaching the old fisherman\u2019s village of Pellestrina by ferry (ferry line 11 ACTV leaving from Piazzetta Vigo).
\nDo not miss this smooth route and lovely sandy islet ! Once you have reached Pellestrina you can head to the port called Santa Maria del mare where you catch a ferry to Lido di Venezia. Cute fact: or Fact file: during this ferry ride to Lido you will be crossing what is known as the Malamocco Mouths where the ocean waves meet the lagoon waters.
\nOnce in Lido get lost in the little lanes along the inside channels and if you happen to plan your tour at the end of the month of August you\u2019ll be likely to bump into celeb gathering for the Festival del Cinema.
\nBoats to San Marco square and other destinations leave almost every twenty minutes from Lido.
\nExtra bonus<\/em>: reaching Venice by water. The cupola of San Marco Square<\/strong> seem to float over the sea
\nA single boat ride ticket is \u20ac 7.50 and it lasts 75 minutes. It allows you to board on any ACTV ferries and boats.<\/p>\n

Info: here you can know more about the itinerary from Chioggia to Venice by bicycle and ferries<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Val di Fiemme: tracks for all levels and if your baby is still in the stroller, no prob!<\/h2>\n

The peak of Laste delle Sut\u00e9 reaches 2626 m above sea level and it lies over Val di Fiemme not far from the more popular circuit of the Dolomites in the Italian region of Trentino.
\nThis peak sits over what is known as Val di Fiemme not far from one of the more popular Dolomites circuits. The Dolomites are in the Trentino region of Northern Italy.
\nThis mountainous and wild territory is the perfect place to go trekking and climbing<\/strong> whilst admiring the dark blue lakes and watching sheep graze peacefully in the open field and vast pine woods.
\nDifferent tracks leave from Val di Fiemme. Our favourite track leaves from the village of Predazzo near Paso Roll\u00e9. From here you go towards Bellamonte and follow the signs towards Ski Area Bellamonte Alpe Lusia. If you happen to have a baby in a stroller don’t worry! The track is comfortable enough to take a stroller and walk along!<\/p>\n

\"Portofino

3. A view over the blue Mediterranean<\/h2>\n

This is a great 3 hour walk to stretch your legs and discover the hidden corners of the Ligurian coastline<\/strong>.
\nStart by climbing up the coast to the left of church in S.Giorgio Portofino. This track unwinds in front of you through little spots of Mediterranean woods and a breathtaking view over the gulf of Tigullio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once you reach the village of San Sebastiano head towards Olmi and Crocetta, two tiny villages with only a few houses. Here you can enjoy the smell of chestnuts and the maritime pines. Stop by the public fountain in Bocche and grab some water! Proceed to Gaixella or San Rocco di Camogli<\/strong>, it is here that you can enjoy a nice village, albeit a little less fashionable than Portofino but it’s a village that still has a special Ligurian touch!<\/p>\n

\"Bolsena

4. From Viterbo to Bolsena through fields of olive trees and woods<\/h2>\n

The track is not very challenging in terms of ups and downs but you really must love walking<\/strong>, as you will be on the track for approx. 6 hours.
\nStart your itinerary from the old city of Viterbo in the Tuscia area, the old homeland of the Etruscans and head towards the little town of Montefiascone (Viterbo) stepping on the Roman Via Cassia. On the way you can stop at Bagnaccio – a natural spa.
\nThe pilgrims that walked on Via Francigena (the old road from France to Rome) knew the area very well and use to stop at Bagnaccio to recover from the long walk.
\nIf you leave Montefiascone and walk towards Bolsena lake you will see road signs that lead you there where you can enjoy a view of the beautiful lake.<\/p>\n

\"Valle
Valle delle Ferriere, a natural reserve in the heart of Amalfi Coast, Italy, ph. by Emanuele Benigni<\/div><\/div>\n

Fed up with Amalfi and its crowded centre? Discover the unique environment of Valle delle Ferriere<\/h2>\n

If you have already worked on your tan, you can explore a beautiful are behind the Amalfi Coast and exercise a little bit.
\nTo get to Valle delle Ferriere wear your sneakers and follow the road signs (CAI 25), it is a picturesque tiny valley that sits behind Amalfi. Once an industrialized area spotted with paper mills and iron firms, the valley is now filled with vegetation.
\nIts peculiar geographical position has created ideal conditions for a unique, natural environment where primitive vegetation species<\/strong> still survive. Such as Woodwardia radicans, a fern that has almost but disappeared everywhere else.
\nTry not to imagine a Tomb Raider type atmosphere or the remote temples of Angkor but you will still find old wrecks that are almost fully covered by trees and leaves.
\nYou can reach the small village of Pontone and from there you can walk a littlr further to Ravello.
\nIf you feel too tired, get the bus back to Amalfi!!!<\/p>\n

Besides expensive resorts and beach facilities, you can always find valid and funny alternatives for your summer with our low cost itineraries.
