Venture into the wild heart of Basilicata on this guided hiking tour along the legendary Seven Stones Path, a scenic trail that links the storybook villages of Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa, nestled in the dramatic Lucanian Dolomites.

Travel in a small group on a moderately challenging route that winds through soaring peaks, steep valleys, and forested trails. The hike begins in Pietrapertosa at 920 meters above sea level, descends to the Caperrino Stream valley at 660 meters, and climbs back up to Castelmezzano, offering panoramic views and unforgettable natural beauty at every turn.

Along the way, encounter seven artistic installations inspired by local legends, witches, and ancient folklore. Through soundscapes and sculptures, these stops create a unique multisensory storytelling experience that brings the landscape to life.

At each end of the trail, you'll explore two of Italy’s most picturesque villages. Castelmezzano enchants with its rock-carved houses and cliffside views, while Pietrapertosa reveals its medieval charm and the ruins of the Norman-Swabian Castle perched high above the valley.

The tour starts and ends in Castelmezzano. After reaching Pietrapertosa and exploring the village and its mountaintop castle, you’ll return on foot along the same scenic route, enjoying a new perspective of the landscape on the way back.

Perfect for nature lovers, culture seekers, and adventurous souls, this hiking tour blends mythology, history, and mountain magic into one unforgettable day.
