The Hiker

Andrea Smith

Milan is basecamp for Andrea Smith's Italian hiking adventures.

Upward Ho!

Val di Mello is a Yosemite-like array of peaks and rocks on the Swiss border.

Trail 1 to Monterosso

Hiking from Levanto to Monterosso gives you a bird’s eye view of the Cinque Terre.

To Como's east

Il Sentiero del Viadante, the Wayfarer's Trail, is a lakeside walk that takes you through seasons.

To Varzi

Oltrepò Pavese in Lombardy has medieval feel, with gullies and gunners to boot.

Beyond St. Moritz

If you want to hike cross-country ski far from the madding crowd, try Swiss Val Roseg.
