Urban Trekking

Urban trekking is a sport for all. Following an itinerary on foot through hilly city streets does not require any special training. It is a perfect way of toning up the mind and body for everyone who is forced to live in cramped spaces and feels the need to liberate pent-up energies.

Ideal also for children, urban trekking is a new and entertaining way to get to know the history and artistic beauty of a city where it is still possible to walk around easily and breathe clean air.
