Malta and Gozo

from14/11 to 22/11/2026

Semi-permanent trekking with moderate elevation changes in the Calipse Islands of Malta and Gozo, to discover the landscapes that the 19th-century writer Edward Lear described as "Pomschizilloso" and "Grombiferous," terms he coined to describe the magnificence of the environments he encountered. Based in Victoria, the lively capital of the island of Gozo, we will travel at a leisurely pace and in a climate suitable for walking, along sections of the Gozo Coastal Walk, along country roads, imposing limestone cliffs, secluded sun-kissed bays, fortifications built by the Knights of Malta, and hills topped with churches. We will also delve into the island's history, discovering some ancient megalithic temples and the evocative rock salt pans, as well as an excursion to the small island of Comino, surrounded by Mediterranean scrub. We conclude the program with a couple of days of culture in Malta, visiting Rabat with its beautiful traditional balconies, Mdina, the silent city, and the capital, Valletta.

Madeira

from 19/09 to 26/09/2026

Rediscovered in 1419 by the Portuguese, the island was uninhabited and densely forested at the time, and was called The Island of Wood (Madeira in Portuguese). Known as "the island of eternal spring", it is a paradise for trekking lovers, thanks to its variety of breathtaking landscapes: spectacular cliffs, imposing mountains and lush forests. In addition, UNESCO has included its beautiful Laurisilva forest, located in the northern region, among the world heritage sites. The island still belongs to Portugal today and is part of a volcanic archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to its geographical position, the Gulf Stream and its mountainous nature, it is characterized by a mild and humid climate, and for this reason the island is rich in tropical flowers and fruits. Immersed in this nature, we will hike through the heart of the island with its peaks Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo, we will walk along ancient irrigation channels "Levadas" and we will push ourselves to the most eastern part of the island Ponta de Sao Lourenco.

Morocco: Sahara Desert

from 5/12 to 13/12/2026

Experiential journey in the fascinating Sahara desert, among the highest sand dunes in Morocco. A 4-day crossing in the most pristine of the Erg (desert area consisting of sand arranged in dunes) to the rhythm of the camels and to the sound of the songs of the nomadic populations, oral heritage of the ancient caravan routes. From the last inhabited outpost before the "void land" we will move in a succession of emotions and infinite landscapes in the heart of this dune system (about 20 km long and 12 wide) letting ourselves be pampered by the sacred hospitality that you breathe in these remote places and the tasty Berber cuisine. There will be a visit to the teeming Marrakech, once the imperial city of western Morocco and to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO jewel rich in history.

Enrol

5 december: flight to Marrakech

Meeting at the airport, check-in and departure for Marrakech. Transfer to our accommodation and, depending on the remaining free time, we visit some attractions of the picturesque old fortified citadel (Medina), Jamma el Fna square, Berber souks, labyrinthine markets full of fabrics, jewelry, spices and various ceramics. Return to the hotel and dinner at a traditional restaurant.

6 december: transfer to the gates of desert

Breakfast. In the morning, transfer by private vehicle to the town of M’Hamid el Ghizlane located at the confluence of the Draa River at the gates of the desert. The journey lasts about 7-8 hours and will allow us to admire the landscape of the Hammada, the typical rocky plateau. From here we continue to our accommodation in a comfortable oasis. Dinner and overnight stay.

7 december: Sidi Naji

After breakfast, our first real day of desert adventure begins. We head towards the dunes and the sanctuary of Sidi Naji, between plateaus and undulating desert formations. We will camp in the heart of the dunes for the first night under the stars of the Sahara desert! Dinner and overnight.

8 december: Erg Ezzahar

Typical breakfast and departure for the magnificent dunes of Erg Ezzahar (the screaming dunes, for the light sound caused by the wind similar to a sigh), after crossing another endless desert plateau. This giant sea of sand dunes will offer us a spectacular view of the entire course of the Draa River with the characteristic tamarinds. It is the typical Sahara landscape that we have always imagined and we will feel indescribable emotions thinking that this is a route that has always been traveled by Bedouin merchants in this part of the desert. Dinner and overnight stay.

9 december: Erg Smar

We continue our crossing with our guides and camels towards the dunes of Erg Smar with its ancient abandoned village, in another succession of infinite panoramas. While we wait for our camp to be prepared we relax with a good mint tea enjoying the sunset and the feeling of peace and serenity that only the desert can give. Dinner and overnight stay.

10 december:  Erg Chegaga

After breakfast, we leave the Erg Smar dune area to gradually enter the Erg Chegaga dunes, the highest dunes in Morocco. A nomadic atmosphere between simplicity and sharing will now accompany us on this last day of trekking in the desert. Dinner and overnight stay.

11 december: towards M’Hamid and transfer to Ait  Ben Haddou

After breakfast, we will be picked up by a 4×4 off-road vehicle to return to the town of M’Hamid and from there we will say goodbye to the desert and move with a private minibus towards the fortified town (Ksar) of Ait-Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After dropping off our luggage at the facility, we visit this suggestive town built around in 1600AD with organic materials such as red mud. Situated on a hill, this fortification dominates the valley at the foot of the Atlas Mountains and in the past has often been used as a location in scenes of epic films such as Gladiator or Lawrence of Arabia. Possibility of booking a Hammam (Turkish bath) in the city. Overnight stay in hotel and dinner.

diFFICULTY LEVEL:

Moderately challenging. The walk involves average distances of about 15km per day on sand, with slight differences in altitude. It does not present any technical difficulty, however a bit of resistance and good fitness is required. Pleasant temperatures during the day (about +20-25C) but in the evening heat evaporates and it becomes cold up down to +4-5C. It therefore requires a spirit of adaptation both to withstand changes in temperature as well as to spend the night in spartan conditions in a tent. No toilet or shower in the desert. These small inconveniences are largely compensated by the magnificent and impressive nature of the Sahara, which will give fairytale emotions in contact with the infinite! You walk on average 5-6 hours per day including stops.

group size:

Max. 14 participants

trail info:

You walk on desert tracks, always on sand, with a local guide and accompanied by camels, used to transport luggage, kitchen and food. We have a cook who prepares all meals.

hiking gear:

Lightweight shoes or trekking sandals, with profiled soles. 25-30l day backpack (you will receive a detailed list of what to bring before departure), suitable clothing with hiking pants (NO JEANS!) and technical shirts.

Ideal for hiking on pleasant and relatively warm days, highs between +18C°-22C°. Quite cold mornings and evenings. Bring both short-sleeved and warm clothing (fleece or long-sleeved sweater, light gloves, windbreaker).

Lanzarote

from 5/12 to 12/12/2026

An island that can be defined as a work of art! Lanzarote is a place where natural elements and man have created a harmonious space. To explain this synergy, we must thank the great work of Cesar Manrique. We owe this well-rounded artist his significant contribution in educating and raising awareness of a dialogue with nature. He also deserves mention for his activist commitment to combating construction sites and buildings that sought to exploit the island. Thanks to this great man, Lanzarote, an island in the Canary Islands, was designated a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. Our walking tour aims to help you discover the unique landscapes and trails of this volcanic island, as well as what man has managed to create and produce from this land of fire, where the signs of the last eruption in 1700 are still vivid and remind us of the power of the Earth.

Enrol

5 dECEMBER: arrivAL IN Lanzarote

Meet at Malpensa Airport and take a direct flight to Lanzarote. Upon arrival, we’ll take a public bus to the village of Yaiza, a quiet town in the southern part of the island. For a few days, this will be our starting point for our excursions and visits to the island. Dinner and overnight stay.

6 dEcembeR: timanfaya NATIONAL PARK – salina di janubio

Breakfast. Today features two important visits, essential for understanding Lanzarote.
In the morning, we head to Timanfaya National Park, a must-see: Lanzarote is Timanfaya, and Timanfaya is Lanzarote. We’ll depart early in the morning with a transfer and then take a park bus for the tour: the only way to see this place! Here, we’ll encounter the explosive force of Mother Nature, man’s ability to exploit and extract resources from a major volcanic eruption that changed the island forever.
In the early afternoon, we’ll visit the Salinas de Janubio, the largest in the Canary Islands and still active. Production began after the Timanfaya eruption, which transformed what was once a port. The salt mine, established in 1800, still reflects tradition and provides employment for its inhabitants. At the end of the day, we return to our accommodation. Dinner and overnight stay.

7 dEcembER: la santa – caleta de famara

Breakfast. Today awaits us a fine walk along the coast where the colors of the volcanoes, with their endless geological work, and the final tongues of Timanfaya meet the Atlantic Ocean. An intimate journey that begins in the village of La Santa and crosses an expanse of silence and rocks until reaching Caleta Famara. Here, a unique beach and its cliffs, formed by an ancient mountain collapse, leave us breathless! Here, a cold beer awaits, and for those who wish, the opportunity to go for a swim! Tonight we move to the village of Teguise, where we sleep in two small, family-friendly accommodations. Dinner and overnight stay. 
Distance: 15km

8 december: yaiza – la geria

Breakfast. We set off on foot from our village to explore one of Lanzarote’s iconic products: its vineyards.

La Geria is characterized by a lunar landscape where man has expertly created spaces specifically for vines. At the end of the tour, we’ll visit and taste a small family-run winery, perfectly in keeping with this magic! Through a taste immersion, we’ll explore how this vine is born and cultivated, tasting Malvasia and other wines produced here! At the end of the day, we’ll take a bus to our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.

We enter the Gayo trail, where an unusual landscape awaits: lush greenery and the walls of the Risco Famara. In the evening, we return to Teguise.
Distance 13 km
Elevation gain/loss: +300 -230m

We can define the island of La Graciosa as a paradise. Today we’ll leave you with some free time to relax and enjoy a peaceful day on the beach, like at Playa Francesa. Alternatively, you can rent a bike to explore the northernmost tip and take a short tour of the beaches. In the afternoon, we’ll take the ferry to Lanzarote for our last night before returning home tomorrow.
Note: For those who wish, there’s also the option of walking along La Graciosa’s beautiful trails.

Catalunya: Camì de Ronda

from 12/9 to 19/9/2026

Used for centuries by fishermen and patrols to monitor smuggling, the ancient Caminos de Ronda run the length of much of the Catalan Costa Brava. We'll explore on foot, in a succession of emotions, a geographical area located between the eastern Pyrenees and the Alto Empordà. From the Gulf of Roses, passing through the idyllic coves of the Cap de Creus Natural Park, the captivating splendor of the white town of Cadaques, all the way to the French border. This territory also recalls the exodus of generations of Spaniards and Catalans who fled along these paths, dominated by lush Mediterranean scrub and the art of dry stone carving. We'll end in the charming town of Figueres, crowning the trek with a visit to the Dalí Theatre-Museum, a tribute to the incredible creativity of the Catalan surrealist painter.

Enrol

Traditional dinner in local restaurant and overnight stay.

13 september: Megalithic itinerary between Dolmens and Menhirs – boat trip

Breakfast at the hotel. In the morning, we hike the hill behind Roses, through a maze
of paths built on a site of power, allowing us to admire several megalithic structures, including massive dolmens over two meters high, among the largest in Catalunya, and mysterious menhirs dating back to the Neolithic period.
In the afternoon, we board a boat from the port of Roses and sail toward the easternmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula, passing the white and beautiful village of Cadaques and reaching Cap de Creus, passing rugged cliffs and idyllic coves, and enjoying the first swims of our journey. 
Return to Roses, dinner, and overnight stay.
Distance: 7 km
Elevation gain/loss: +200m – 200m

14 september: Roses – Cadaques

After breakfast, we begin our true Cami de Ronda, a trail through Mediterranean scrubland dotted with rosemary, rockrose, and wild thyme, beautiful pine forests, and stunning views of inviting turquoise coves. We pass Punta Falconera, home to a large complex of bunkers built during the Spanish Civil War, skirt the Cap de Norfeu nature reserve, and after the beautiful Cala Joncols, we begin the gradual climb that will take us to a picturesque hill. From here, we begin to see the white houses of Cadaques from above, a pearl of the western Mediterranean. Cadaques welcomes us with its slate-paved alleys, a relaxing atmosphere in front of the small harbor filled with anchored boats, and a good glass of wine that once enchanted the painter Salvador Dalí!
Dinner at a restaurant and overnight stay at a hotel.
Distance: 20 km
Elevation gain/loss: + 750m – 730m

15 sePtember: Cadaques – El Port de la Selva

There are few places in the Mediterranean where you can be caught in such a wild and captivating landscape as this! The terrain we’ll tread today is made up of rocks approximately 450 million years old, ancient granites that emerged during the rise of the Pyrenees mountain range. We arrive at Cala Jugadora, where we treat ourselves to a swim before continuing along the GR11 trail, crossing a picturesque plateau within the nature reserve, before turning back towards the sea and touching the dramatic yet stunning Cala Tavallera. Finally, we arrive at El Port de la Selva, located in a north-facing bay and popular with surfers.

We visit the complex and then stop for lunch near the church of Santa Creu de Rodes, before descending along a verdant valley, passing through Coll de Perer, where we enjoy beautiful views of the Pyrenees descending towards the sea.

At a beach, we climb up to the mountain of Los Cañones, cannons that belonged to a Spanish armada that was shipwrecked off the coast in 1793. We stop at the top to admire the landscape before descending to the village of Colera, and then continue along a path overgrown with wild fennel, on a hill completely terraced due to now-abandoned agricultural practices. We thus arrive in Portbou, a border town and a stopping point for thousands of people who fled to France in 1939 along the so-called Route of Exile. Train to Figueres and arrival at the hotel.
Traditional dinner and overnight stay.
Distance: 12,5 km
Elevation gain/loss: + 480m – 480m

18 september: visit of Figueres and Salvador Dalì Museum

Breakfast. Today is a cultural day in the historic center of Salvador Dalí’s birthplace, the vibrant capital of the Alt Empordà region.

After the visit, we’ll relax on the town’s Rambla with sangria and local tapas. Dinner and overnight stay.

19 september: Barcelona and flight back home

After breakfast, for those interested, we can take a walk along the walls of Sant Ferran Castle and admire the entire panorama from above, overlooking the Gulf of Roses and the Cap de Creus national park to the east and the Pyrenees mountain range to the northwest.
