San Felice Circeo: trekking and nature on the paths of Circe

Discovering the Circeo trails

The ongoing initiative aims to promote the natural trails of the Circeo National Park, encouraging sustainable use of paths that cross the promontory, coastal cliffs and the planitial forests of Sabaudia and San Felice Circeo. Activities focus on hiking, accessible routes and outdoor experiences suitable for families and diverse visitors.

Recent launch and outlook

The project began with a three-day launch between 30 January and 1 February 2026, featuring the opening of a Made in Italy Village and a programme of sporting and nature-focused events. The weekend gathered local residents, associations and visitors in activities that combined sport, environmental education and territory discovery.

Offered activities

• Guided hikes along the main trails of the promontory;
• Metabolic walks and forest walking routes, including options for people with disabilities;
• Plogging events that combine exercise with litter collection;
• Canoeing and water-based excursions along coastal and lake areas;
• Family walks and educational routes for schools and families;
• Data collection and monitoring to improve trail management and promotion.

Why visit Sabaudia and San Felice Circeo

Sabaudia boasts diverse landscapes—coastal dunes, a lake and planitial forest—excellent for walks and birdwatching. San Felice Circeo, with its historic village and commanding promontory overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, is a striking destination for those seeking strong nature-and-history experiences.
