Appennini for all: Where Accessibility Meets Wilderness
Appennini for All is a tour operator dedicated to accessible environmental tourism, ensuring that the mountains, forests, and wild landscapes of Italy’s Apennines are accessible to everyone. With specialized equipment such as joëlettes (all-terrain wheelchairs) and the support of trained companions, hiking, kayaking, paragliding, e-biking, and even sensory experiences become possible for travelers with different abilities.
But Appennini for All is more than just excursions. It partners with local organizations, guides, and accommodations to design fully accessible travel packages, including interpretation in sign language, adapted activities for people with cognitive disabilities, and barrier-free lodging. This way, the beauty of the Apennines—from the Marsican wilderness to historic towns—is open to all, without exceptions.
Alongside tours, the initiative also provides training and consultancy for schools, institutions, and tourism stakeholders, helping spread knowledge of inclusive practices and making accessibility a shared responsibility.
