The island of Elba is covered by a web of trails of all sizes and lengths that wind on the ridges, creeping throughout the valleys and plains. Some of these paths date back to the Napoleonic period.La Grande Traversata Elbana, GTE, goes along 72 km of well mapped trails and can be reached easily from Hotel Santo Stefano. The route runs along the ridge of the mountain range of Elba starting from Cavo and ending in Pomonte. For those who prefer to follow an environmental guide, in the autumn and spring, The Walking Festival organizes guided hikes along little known picturesque trails.
