The Grande Traversata Elbana (GTE) is one of the most fascinating hiking routes in the Mediterranean. This 50-kilometre trail crosses the entire Island of Elba from east to west, offering hikers breathtaking views, glimpses of Mediterranean scrub, ancient mule tracks, and historic villages. Traditionally divided into four stages, the route allows you to discover the island’s most authentic soul, far from tourist beaches, immersed in wild nature and centuries-old history.
The GTE crosses mountain ridges, chestnut and holm oak woods, and opens onto the crystal-clear sea from remarkable heights. It is an experience combining physical effort with natural beauty—a journey that attracts hikers from all over Europe every year.

Procchio is strategically located along the GTE route, making it the perfect place for a rest and refreshment stop. The village lies just before the challenging climb leading to Monte Perone.
Stopping in Procchio means facing the ascent with renewed energy after a night’s rest in a comfortable environment. The proximity of the apartments to the GTE route ensures that hikers do not need to lengthen their journey, optimising walking times.
