Trekking Experience on Mount Gemma

If you’re looking for an authentic adventure, surrounded by nature and far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, a hike up Monte Gemma is the perfect experience for you. At an elevation of 1,457 meters, this peak offers one of the most fascinating and comprehensive hiking trails in our region.

What makes this experience so special is its incredible versatility: you can choose to tackle the mountain on foot, savoring every single step, or on a bike (MTB or e-bike) for an extra rush of adrenaline. A rejuvenating adventure perfect for all nature lovers, with prices starting at just €10 per person.

"A unique loop trail that combines the thrill of scenic ridges with the rejuvenating silence of a centuries-old beech forest, reaching up to the sky at an elevation of 1,457 meters."

The journey begins in the heart of Prossedi. From here, you head toward Supino and then climb up to the beautiful, unspoiled Piana di Santa Serena. Once you reach the spring—the official starting point of the hike—you’ll find signs pointing to the various trails leading to the majestic cross on Monte Gemma.

The trail, classified as an E (Hiking) trail, forms a 6.5-km loop with a total duration of about 3 hours and 30 minutes. Our recommendation is to get the most out of it by following the ridge on the way out—to enjoy the sweeping, unobstructed views—and then returning through the dense, cool beech forest. Hiking this route is a stimulating experience: the key is to keep your eyes peeled and carefully follow the distinctive red-and-white markings on the rocks and tree trunks.

A hike in the mountains isn’t complete without the right treat for the palate. Our guests have the fantastic opportunity to enjoy a traditional mountain lunch: a moment of shared enjoyment to recharge their energy and savor authentic local products while surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery.
