|FULL| 7-Day Wild Food Italian Alps
Under the guidance of an experienced foraging guide, we will spend a week in the Italian Alps, searching for wild edible plants and mushrooms. Think of waterfalls, hiking through different ecosystems as we walk up and down the mountains, a stay in a small chalet in the middle of nowhere and Italian mountain culture and cuisine. The perfect opportunity to go completely back to basics. Italy is one of the best known mushroom countries, deeply rooted in the local culture and boasting an extensive and longstanding tradition of foraging.
A diverse trip where we hike, visit local villages, forage and sleep in an authentic Italian chalet. Join us on a trip of a lifetime!
