Overview

Discover the Lucanian Dolomites on a private hike between Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa, accompanied by a certified hiking guide dedicated exclusively to your group. Follow the evocative Seven Stones Path, an ancient route connecting the two villages through a varied landscape of climbs, descents, woodland, valleys, and dramatic rock formations.

Along the way, encounter seven themed stages inspired by local legends, tales of witches and ancient beliefs, enhanced by art installations and atmospheric sound elements that make the route even more immersive.

Reach Pietrapertosa on foot and discover one of Italy’s Most Beautiful Villages, with its stone lanes, panoramic views and the historic Arabata district.
