National Walking Day 2026, promoted by FederTrek, is scheduled for October 10 and 11. The initiative aims to promote a culture of walking to improve quality of life, foster social connections, and support environmental sustainability by reducing vehicle reliance.

Various free activities are planned across Italy, including urban trekking, park walks, and excursions through small villages. Specific events include a walking tour of Rome’s GRAB route and an excursion in the Abruzzo Apennines following ancient transhumance paths. The event is designed to be accessible to the general public, including those without hiking experience.
