The region offers trails for various fitness levels, winding through forests, ancient villages, nature reserves, and coastal landscapes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When staying in Grosseto at the Hotel Granduca, you can explore some of the most scenic hiking trails in southern Tuscany, choosing from nature walks, half-day hikes, and more challenging excursions.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve selected <strong>four itineraries to explore during your stay at the Hotel Granduca<\/strong>, complete with details on distance, duration, elevation gain, and difficulty.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oliveto di Collelungo: A Hike Through Pine Forests, Centuries-Old Olive Trees, and the Sea<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the heart of the Maremma Regional Park, Route <strong>A3\u2014Collelungo Olive Grove\u2014<\/strong> winds through some of the most distinctive landscapes along the Grosseto coast.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trail begins in the picturesque <strong>Pineta Granducale<\/strong>, among Italian pines and Mediterranean vegetation, before gently ascending toward the Uccellina Hills. Along the way, you\u2019ll encounter views of the coast, ancient cork oak groves, and a large, monumental olive grove, with trees dating back over four centuries.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trail also leads near <strong>Collelungo<\/strong> Beach, one of the most unspoiled spots along the Maremma coastline. It\u2019s an interesting option for those who want to spend a morning in nature without tackling particularly challenging elevation gains. However, the length of the trail does require a fair amount of walking experience.<\/p>\n\n<style data-wp-block-html=\"css\">\/* Schede trekking Hotel Granduca *\/\n\n.granduca-trekking {\n  background: #f7f7f5;\n  border: 1px solid #e8e8e4;\n  border-radius: 8px;\n  padding: 24px;\n  margin: 25px 0 35px;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-title {\n  font-size: 20px;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  line-height: 1.3;\n  border-left: 3px solid #a68b65;\n  padding-left: 12px;\n  margin: 0 0 22px;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-grid {\n  display: grid;\n  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);\n  gap: 18px;\n  margin-bottom: 20px;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-item {\n  display: flex;\n  flex-direction: column;\n  gap: 5px;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-label {\n  color: #777;\n  font-size: 13px;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-item strong {\n  font-size: 17px;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  color: #292929;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-info {\n  border-top: 1px solid #dededb;\n  padding-top: 16px;\n  margin-bottom: 14px;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-info p {\n  margin: 0 0 6px;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  line-height: 1.6;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-info strong {\n  font-weight: 600;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-link {\n  display: inline-block;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  text-decoration: none;\n}\n\n.granduca-trekking-link:hover {\n  text-decoration: underline;\n}\n\n\/* Tablet e smartphone *\/\n@media (max-width: 767px) {\n  .granduca-trekking {\n    padding: 18px;\n  }\n\n  .granduca-trekking-grid {\n    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);\n    gap: 18px 12px;\n  }\n\n  .granduca-trekking-title {\n    font-size: 18px;\n  }\n\n  .granduca-trekking-item strong {\n    font-size: 16px;\n  }\n}\n\n<\/style><div class=\"granduca-trekking\"><h3 class=\"granduca-trekking-title\">Oliveto di Collelungo\n  <\/h3><div class=\"granduca-trekking-grid\"><div class=\"granduca-trekking-item\"><span class=\"granduca-trekking-label\">Length<\/span><strong>9.6 km<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"granduca-trekking-item\"><span class=\"granduca-trekking-label\">Duration<\/span><strong>3 hours<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"granduca-trekking-item\"><span class=\"granduca-trekking-label\">Elevation gain<\/span><strong>+107 m<\/strong><\/div><div class=\"granduca-trekking-item\"><span class=\"granduca-trekking-label\">Difficulty<\/span><strong>Easy<\/strong><\/div><\/div><div class=\"granduca-trekking-info\"><p><strong>Start:<\/strong> Casetta dei Pinottolai,\n      Marina di Alberese<\/p><p><strong>Route:<\/strong> A3 &#8211; Oliveto di Collelungo<\/p><\/div><a class=\"granduca-trekking-link\" href=\"https:\/\/parco-maremma.it\/itinerari\/a-piedi\/a3-oliveto-di-collelungo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View the route and GPX track \u2192\n  <\/a><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Le Torri: A Scenic Hike in the Maremma Park<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who love ocean views, <strong>the A2 \u2013 Le Torri trail<\/strong> is one of the most captivating routes in the Maremma Park.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After an initial stretch through the Pineta Granducale, the trail climbs toward the Uccellina hills, offering glimpses of the Ombrone plain, the sea, and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the most picturesque spots are the <strong>Torre di Castel Marino<\/strong>, an ancient lookout tower, and the <strong>Torre di Collelungo<\/strong>, overlooking the coast.
