The Prosecco Hills Trail<\/strong> it is not a simple hiking trail; it is a journey into the heart of a \u201ccultural landscape\u201d that UNESCO has recognised as unique in the world. It is an itinerary of 51 kilometres<\/strong> (divided into four stages) which winds its way from Vidor to Vittorio Veneto, following the ridge of the World Heritage site's core zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a host The Court of Marga<\/strong>, I consider this path the definitive key to understanding our territories and wines. Walking here means treading on the \u201ccordonate\u201d (hogback), those parallel and steep ridges that forced our ancestors to invent heroic viticulture. Facing the 2,265 metres of positive elevation gain<\/strong> It is not just a physical challenge, but a way to feel firsthand the effort hidden within every glass of Prosecco Superiore DOCG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stages of the Journey: A tale of land and toil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The itinerary is designed to be experienced over four days of slow walking, each with a distinct geographical soul:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Vidor \u2013 Col San Martino (11.7 km, 4h 30m, Elevation gain 567m):<\/strong> The route begins at the ancient Abbey of Santa Bona in Vidor. This stage is an immersion in the vineyards surrounding the historic village, where the slopes begin to make themselves felt, introducing the walker to the perfect geometry of the \u201cciglioni\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Col San Martino \u2013 Follina (15.4 km) 5h 30m. Elevation gain 655m.<\/strong>):<\/strong> It is the most spectacular and technical stage. You walk along the ridge line of the \u201ccordonate\u201d, enjoying a 360\u00b0 view stretching from the plains to the Prealps. It is here that you can admire the famous \u201cChiocciola\u201d (Snail), an embroidery of rows of vines that defies gravity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Follina \u2013 Tarzo (14.3 km) 4 hours 30 minutes, Ascent 460 metres<\/strong><\/strong> ):<\/strong> After visiting the Cistercian Abbey of Follina, the path delves into more wooded areas, among chestnut groves and ancient farmhouses, revealing the wildest and most introspective side of the hills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Tarzo \u2013 Vittorio Veneto (10 km):<\/strong> The final act. Descend towards the Revine lakes to then ascend towards the last ridge, concluding the journey in the splendid historic setting of Serravalle. Two variants exist, one more challenging and one more comfortable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
