When to hike in Italy
The best time to hike in Italy depends on the region and your preferences. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) offer mild weather and fewer crowds, making them ideal for hiking in most regions. Summer (July to August) can be hot, especially in southern Italy, but is perfect for high-altitude hikes in the Alps or Dolomites. Winter (December to February) is suitable for lower-altitude hikes in regions with milder climates, such as Sicily or Sardinia.
