Hiking Tours in Alicudi

About this experience

What to expect

• Tours last 4 to 6 hours, covering 8 to 12 kilometres of rugged volcanic terrain with 600 to 900 metres of elevation gain.
• A local guide leads the hike, providing historical context on the island's farming terraces, dry-stone walls, and the 17th-century Church of San Bartolo.
• The route passes through the hamlets of Alicudi Porto and Alicudi Pianicello, where hikers see goats, wild herbs, and endemic flora such as the Alicudi broom.
• The summit of Monte Montagnola (675 metres) offers a 360-degree view of the other Aeolian islands, including Filicudi and Salina, on clear days.
• The tour includes a packed lunch with local produce, such as capers, olives, and bread, eaten at a designated picnic spot with sea views.
• Suitable for fit hikers with good balance; the trail is narrow, uneven, and exposed in sections, with no shade or water sources along the way.
