The region of the Bologna Valleys winds along through 5 Valleys, named after the rivers which run through them. Travelling on foot, by mountain bike or by horse, you will discover the wild and unspoiled nature of the Bologna Apennine.

Following the routes used through the centuries by armies, pilgrims and famous writers, you will admire forest trees or glades with wild strawberries, breathtaking views, or have the chance of looking at an hawk circling above you after its prey, or even running across a roe deer.

You could choose among different itineraries offered by three Parks crossing these Valleys. Starting from the "Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi", with chalky formations and more than 200 grottos, continuing through the "Parco Storico di Monte Sole",  to end up at the "Parco dei Laghi di Suviana e Brasimone", full of centuries-old chestnut.

You will immerse yourself in nature and live a unique and glamorous experience by feeling its perfumes, sounds and flavours.
