Romagna Slow
About us
The national hiking association AIGAE
AIGAE is a professional national hiking club. It is the only hiking association recognised by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development.
The AIGAE guides are qualified to carry out the professional activity of "illustrating to individuals and groups the ecological and naturalistic aspects of the territory and to encourage them to visit mountain, hill, flat and water worlds, including artificial sites, parks and protected areas, as well as naturalistic and ecological environments or exhibition structures". They have acquired their professional qualifications through training under Regional Law 4/2000 and have passed the final examinations. They work in accordance with Law 4/2013 and are included in the Italian Register of Guides kept by AIGAE.
The professional G.A.E. has professional liability insurance and is obliged to participate in regular, compulsory continuation courses.

Decelerated travel on the traces of beauty
The routes we propose (trekking, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and hiking) offer areas rich in natural beauty, villages and castles, ancient paths, landscapes immortalized by the greatest Renaissance painters, places of silence and hermitage, valleys and lagoons. The proposal is to "make unique experiences full of impact to discover the authenticity, hospitality, identity and culinary excellence of the areas visited".
We are a team of guides and lovers of travel and nature. We offer a quality service for active and demanding clients from an ecological, cultural and emotional point of view. Among us are experts in tourism, communication, physical and sports disciplines, environment and education.
Our tours are designed to satisfy travellers who are looking for new discoveries, history and stories, nature, encounters and beauty, as well as unexpected surprises on this mother earth with its thousand shades. They are designed for experienced walkers as well as those who "take their first steps" to slowly cross the world from country to country.
We will guide you in small groups through the countries of Montefeltro and Malatesta. We will meet landscapes of untouched green to cross them like humble pilgrims of the past, among paths among wild orchids, rugged mountain ridges, shady rivers, streams and forests, ancient oaks and chestnut trees and high pastures. The sense of hospitality that we can offer in these countries is well known. Romagna is hospitable, welcoming and cheerful: an ideal place where you can slowly find yourself.
Travel with us. Everything you are looking for is at your feet.

Cresciuto a piada e boschi, con l’adolescenza ho scoperto la montagna, quella maestosa, ed è stato amore a prima vista. Prima attraverso i sentieri, poi le vie alpinistiche e l’arrampicata ed infine il parapendio, che da 25 anni continua ad emozionarmi; e ad emozionare, essendo abilitato per i voli in Tandem.<br />Nel frattempo ho conosciuto il mare, con il kayak ho pagaiato attraverso le isole italiane, francesi e le coste spagnole, dormendo sempre in spiaggia e sotto le stelle. Tutto questo mentre mi appassionavo alle regate d’altura in barca a vela, attraverso l’Adriatico.<br />Durante il freddo inverno invece, con gli sci da fondo o le ciaspole assaporo la montagna nei suoi silenzi più profondi, in una dimensione molto intima.<br />Su tutto c’è il rispetto per la natura, la voglia di viverla pienamente, con i suoi ritmi ed i limiti che impone.<br />Ed il desiderio di accompagnare, in sicurezza, chi ne è curioso. Per questo sono Guida Ambientale Escursionistica dal 2016.', graphics: true, background: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)', backgroundBlur: false, width: '30%'}))
