The Project / About us

HoraEcoTrek was born with the aim to give value to trekking activities.
What sets us apart is not just “walking”, but the way we want to do it: with awareness, preparedness, with an eco-friendly and people-oriented approach.
We propose a wide range of activities, all united by the same thread: the love for our land and the desire to share it.

Our Services

Urban Trekking and Storytelling

The places telling

Discovering where people live means observing their own places, walking on their streets, encountering the life stories that born and grow up there. Hora Eco Trek accompanies you through a visual narrative, using the words best suited to describe what you're admiring, for a full tour in one of Sicily's most historic villages, Piana degli Albanesi/Hora e Arbëreshvet. A complete experience that will takes you on a journey through time and space.

One or more day hyke

The discovering pleasure

The hyke we offer are accessible to all age groups and meet the diverse expectations of those who rely on Hora Eco Trek. The routes, mostly within protected areas, parks, and reserves, are opportunities to discover the area off the beaten track and in an intimate and personal way. The multi-day itineraries also offer the opportunity to enjoy the slow pace of "step by step," which is also a way of self-discovery.

Accompaniment along the Sicilian Walking Paths

Unplug to know yourself

The Walking Paths are the way to take time for himself, to discover new places, to meet people, to discover our own limits and strengths. The area around Piana degli Albanesi is crossed by 4 paths: the Sentiero Italia, the Itinerarium Rosaliæ, the Magna Via Francigena and the Cammino dei Mille. For each of them, Hora Eco Trek can organize the experience in organized groups, accompanying them, booking overnight stays, and providing the necessary assistance.

Environmental Education and Orienteering

Activities for Schools and Youth

Knowing nature through hands-on experience is the approach thath Hora Eco Trek has chosen to engage with the educational school's world. Preparatory meetings, guidance, and practical suggestions will make the experience in nature a vivid one for the children. Orienteering enriches our range of services. After a basic topography training session, using a compass and topographic map, various skills will be tested in a game completely immersed in nature.
