Discover the dramatic landscapes of Basilicata on a private guided hike along the Seven Stones Trail, the historic route connecting Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa in the heart of the Lucanian Dolomites.

Meet your professional hiking guide in Castelmezzano and set out along a scenic path that descends into the Caperrino valley before climbing towards Pietrapertosa. Follow a varied route of woodland, rocky slopes, panoramic viewpoints, and striking mountain formations, with your guide dedicated exclusively to your group.

Along the way, experience the trail’s seven themed stages, inspired by local legends, witch folklore, and age-old beliefs. Art installations and atmospheric soundscapes add a distinctive storytelling element, blending nature and tradition as you move through the landscape.
