Trekking is an English word that for the Italians is synonymous with hiking, but it really is much more ... it is an outdoor activity consisting in walking slowly in natural environments, often in the mountains, and on hiking trails to better know the landscape from different perspectives and at the same time to find yourself. Trekking is not mountaineering... it is days of walking, along with adventure. It is not climbing, it is not an extreme sport, it is not defying nature .... but entering in tune with it. Trekking derives from the verb 'to trek', a term coming from the language of the Dutch settlers of South Africa, from the Boer words trek (noun) and trekken (verb) with various meanings, such as 'pull', 'walk slowly or even undertake a long journey with wagons pulled by oxen', 'migration' referring to the Great Migration the Dutch settlers were forced to from 1835 and 1843 to escape the advance of the English, and this historical origin of the term amplifies the concept of finding oneself while walking towards new goals. Trekking became a word in English language in mid 19th century and also means 'a long journey undertaken on foot in areas where common means of transport are note available' and this well describes what once was the main way of travelling: walking along trails and mule tracks in the company of donkeys, mules, oxen or horses. Hence, today, the various side activities in the modern and popular touristic trekking activities and walking tours. Nowadays, trekking is a way to get away, even if only for a few days, from the hustle of everyday life and from the haste characterizing it, to explore new places without stress and enjoy outdoor activities. A way to restore, to pause for breath and to live nature in its various manifestations: stunning views, canyons, caves, seaside coast, fjords, hills, valleys, trees, flowers and plants .... along fixed and unfixed paths and trails. In this spirit our website dedicated to Walking & Trekking comes to life.
