Trekking on Elba Island
La Zanca is situated on the slopes of the Monte Capanne mountain, 1,019 meters high. At the base of the mountain a large web of paths and trails leads on the top or around the mountain, as well as to all the small villages of the western coast.
Walking through the valleys with their century old chestnut trees or the mediterranean macchia vegetation with its strong perfumes is a particular emotion. You will discover sudden breathtaking panoramas or encounter animals or strange rock formations recalling natural sculptures of animals, monsters ...
From La Zanca and nearby Patresi start some easily passable paths that connect, after crossing old vineyards and small waterfalls among the granite, to the ancient paths rich in history that lead to Marciana or Chiessi.
