The Grande Traversata Elbana: a unique experience
The Grande Traversata Elbana (GTE) is one of the most fascinating trekking routes on Elba Island, an itinerary that crosses the island from east to west, offering unique views between sea and mountains. The route begins in Cavo, a village located in the north-eastern part of the island, considered the ideal starting point for the GTE.
The GTE stretches for about 50–60 km along the ridge of the island and is usually divided into several stages, allowing you to enjoy a complete experience of nature, sport, and breathtaking landscapes. Along the trek, you pass through very diverse environments: panoramic coastal sections, wooded areas, trails immersed in Mediterranean scrub, and scenic viewpoints from which you can admire all the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
