Define simple hiking serious; "start walking and let go, while respecting the environment." Halfway between sport, tour and travel, hiking is a recreational activity more fans in the last fifty years.
The real motivation of this sport is in the appreciation of the natural environment in which we move, enjoy the company of friends and curious about the hidden secrets of our nature. Visitors
sporadically in areas favorable for walking not always realize the aggressions to which they are refer to these natural landscapes and overlook one of the basic principles of hiking: respect the environment.
is why we have thought it would be desirable to lay before a series of recommendations for all those who are not very familiar with the trails.
