A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene unfold across the heart of the Veneto region, nestled at the foothills of the Dolomites. Here, the landscape is a patchwork of rolling hills, ciglioni—small vineyard plots arranged on narrow grassy terraces—woven together with forests, farmland, and storybook villages such as Serravalle, Arfanta, Pieve di Soligo, and Valdobbiadene.

This walking route invites you to immerse yourself in the cultural and natural richness of the region. Along the way, you'll pass centuries-old watermills like the Molinetto della Croda, walk panoramic ridgelines, and descend into quiet valleys cloaked in vineyards—the same vines that produce the world-renowned Prosecco Superiore DOCG.

It’s more than a hike: it’s a journey through a living landscape, shaped over centuries by the delicate balance between human craftsmanship and the rhythms of nature.

Highlights

  • UNESCO Prosecco vineyards: Walk through a unique checkerboard landscape of terraced vineyards.
  • Panoramic ridge walks: Sweeping views over the Prosecco hills stretching to the distant Alps.
  • Hidden hamlets & local flavors: Discover off-the-beaten-path villages—and enjoy rustic trattorie, homemade pasta, and local cheeses.
  • Caglieron Caves: Explore scenic caves, waterfalls, and walkways through a lush forest.
  • Molinetto della Croda: A postcard-perfect 17th-century watermill nestled in the hills.

Accommodation


For our trips, we always choose accommodation with private rooms and private bathrooms. In rare cases, shared accommodations or shared bathrooms may be provided, so we recommend carefully checking the inclusions section to understand the type of accommodation included in the trip you are interested in.  

We place great importance on the choice of accommodations and select hotels with care and attention. We understand how essential it is to rest well after a day of walking. We always prefer cozy and characteristic establishments, preferably family-run, that fully embody the spirit of the place and offer hospitality with courtesy and comfort.  

Where, due to the nature of the route, accommodation options are limited, we choose the one that best aligns with our standards.

When to travel


The best time to walk this route is from April to October, when the days are longer and the Prosecco Hills reveal their most beautiful side.

  • In spring, the vineyards begin to turn green and the trails are filled with wildflowers and soft scents. The weather is mild — perfect for walking.
  • Summer brings long, bright days, lively villages, and clear skies. Temperatures are pleasant, especially in the mornings and late afternoons.
  • In autumn, the golden light and warm colors of the vines create a unique atmosphere. It’s also harvest season, making it ideal for wine lovers.

What to bring


Clothing and other items
You will need your regular walking/cycling gear, including some sort of reflective garment. For the evenings, smart outdoor style trousers (or shorts) are invaluable, as are quick-dry t-shirts. These can be washed easily and will dry overnight and still look good for sightseeing or having a drink in town.

Take as little as possible to avoid potentially lugging a heavy suitcase up three flights of stairs at the end of the day. Please be aware that laundromats (“Laverie”) are not common in rural areas, so plan to do handwashing of small items.

Lightweight walking shoes/ trainers
For wearing around towns & villages. They can also be a back-up pair.

Socks & underwear
Take only good quality socks with quick-dry and insulating qualities. Road test them before you go on the trip. Take a suitable quantity of underwear as washing facilities are limited.

Warm jacket, hat, gloves
Bring a fleece, Polartec or warm layers for the evenings especially in spring or autumn; be sure it is totally suitable for your needs.
A fleece jacket which blocks the wind (Wind-stopper) is the most preferable. In the summer months a lightweight jacket is suitable for evenings.
If you are cycling/walking in mountainous or coastal areas, even in the height of summer, the weather can change very quickly and unexpectedly and you should be prepared for fog, mist, rain, snow or hail at any time. Always take an extra layer with you, as well as a warm hat and gloves.

Waterproof jacket & trousers
If you are caught in heavy rain, with good waterproof clothing you should remain dry. Remember that most garments will lose their properties over time. Few will remain waterproof for more than five years and many deteriorate in three years or less. We recommend a rain jacket with a good hood and collar and waterproof or thermal walking/cycling trousers or tights.

Dress code
In general, you should wear suitable clothing when entering a church (in many places, it is considered unacceptable to go inside wearing shorts or a tank-top). We suggest that women carry a shawl to cover up bear shoulders or low-cut tops. It also comes in handy when your shoulders get sunburned!

It is considered inappropriate for men to go without a shirt / T-shirt (other than at the beach).

Trekking poles (adjustable)
Highly recommended. A pair works best, depending on what you are comfortable with. If you suffer from back or knee pain this should be considered essential. Remember to practise walking with your pole(s) on different types of terrain in the months preceding your trip.

Walking boots
The importance of good footwear cannot be stressed enough. Your boots should be sturdy and of good enough quality to handle all types of terrain. Lightweight boots, (cordura/leather boots) which have Gore-Tex or sympatex water-proofing are most suitable for this trip. They should provide good ankle protection and be well broken in. Waxing leather boots regularly prolongs their life.

Walking tops & trousers
We recommend walking trousers and shorts and quick-dry wicking t-shirts. These can be washed easily and will dry overnight and still look good for sightseeing or having a drink in town. Wicking T-shirts are fast drying, keep moisture away from your skin and are available at outdoor stores. You should also bring one pair of loose-fitting trousers to wear in cities and for evenings out, etc. Shorts or zip-off trousers are useful in warmer weather.
