Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to the most frequently asked questions about Appennino Slow trips, services, and activities to better organize your experience.

Group trips

No, our groups have no age limits (except for Under40 departures). Anyone can join as long as they have the physical preparation required for the trip.

Of course. Many of our guests sign up on their own. Rooms are assigned based on various factors to ensure a good shared experience. A single room is available on request and subject to an extra charge (not available for all trips or nights).

If the group has not reached the minimum number within 20 days before departure, the trip will be canceled. You will be notified by email of the available options: switching to another scheduled departure or requesting a refund of the deposit paid.

Tailor-made trips

In general, yes. Self-guided departures do not have a fixed calendar, as we make bookings for each individual request. However, we have a limited number of departures we can manage each day. If your preferred date is not available for logistical reasons, we will work together to find the next available date.

Of course. Many of our guests choose to travel on their own. In this case, the package includes accommodation in a single room and luggage transfer for one person. You will still meet many fellow travelers along the route.

Yes, on self-guided departures you can travel with your dog. We will only book accommodations that accept pets, and a supplement starting from €5 per day will apply.

Bike trips

e-MTB tours mainly take place on technical trails, single tracks, rough dirt roads, and routes with natural obstacles such as roots, rocks, and significant elevation changes. They require greater riding skills and a strong sense of adventure. Gravel tours, on the other hand, favor dirt roads, farm tracks, unpaved cycle paths, and less technical routes that are often longer. Gravel routes are perfect for those approaching off-road cycle tourism for the first time: they can also be tackled with a front-suspension e-MTB and are ideal for riders at their first experiences.

Of course, you can join with your personal bike. Please note that our routes are designed to be tackled with electric assistance: if you bring a non-electric bike, make sure you have training suitable for the difficulty level of the tour. In any case, your bike must be in perfect mechanical condition and suitable for the type of terrain planned.

Absolutely yes. Our tours are also designed for those approaching this experience for the first time. We recommend starting with itineraries classified as “Tourist” or “Moderate” and choosing gravel routes, which are more suitable for beginners. With our e-bikes, even more demanding routes become accessible: electric assistance compensates for the lack of specific training.
