What is trekking? Practical advice
Let's see what can be the most useful advice for those who want to try their hand at this activity, with their children .
Let's start by explaining what it is: the term trekking , with which in Italian we refer generically to the hiking , derives from the verb English to trek , which literally means walk slowly .

Different types of trekking
The two main categories in which we can divide the different types of trekking are:
urban : practiced to discover some of the most beautiful cities in Italy, it is carried out within the inhabited centers. We walk to discover the main cultural points of the urban center in question, thus combining sport and culture . Perfect if we want our children to come into contact with the art and the history of our country, in an alternative and fun way.

How to prepare for an excursion
Certainly, although with your children you will venture along the easy paths, it is always appropriate preparing adequately, above all because in the company of small hikers the effort will be double.
Below, the three fundamental things to pay attention to:
- Map : never start without having a map of the path you want to do. Today there are millions of applications that help the human being not to lose the orientation, however there are also varied the possibilities that do not work (your mobile phone can be downloaded, at the point where you are there is no field etc.). So, in order to avoid being blocked in the middle of nature, always bring a map of the route with you and study it before traveling!
- times : especially as regards the trekking in natural environments, it is very important to take into account when it stands and When the sun sets. It is necessary to plan the time available well, always considering a margin for any delays or unexpected events and, above all, it is good to remember that taking a summer excursion is not the same that traveling an itinerary in the winter months.
- equipment : it will be very important to dress with comfortable clothes and adapted to the temperatures of the season in which we choose to do our excursion (essential will be, therefore , a waterproof in winter and a hat with summer visor). Fundamentals of the good shoes , even better if special trekking boots . Finally, it will be necessary to pay attention to the backpack : too often it falls into error and we load many useless things, which are only an annoying weight. Better few but essential things: like water and some snacks.
