Hiking in Europe in early March
Hello, everyone!
I'm travelling to Italy in March and I have plans to do some hiking somewhere in europe. I thought about the Dolomites, but everything is too expensive and the access to the towns is kinda hard.
I'm looking for another option, but it seems that it's skiing season everywhere and the trails are hardly accessable due to the snow. I thought about Chamonix or the Pyrenees,
Does anyone have a good option to hike around these dates? I don't care about the snow, as long as the trail is available, and I don't need to reach the summits, exactly.
Thanks in advance.

Most places in the Province of Bolzano/Bozen (Dolomites) can be reached by train or bus at least every hr.
About half of the area (Lake Caldaro, Venosta, Bolzano area...) is usuallly free of snow in March.
So are the trails around Lake Garda, Lake Iseo, Lake Como, Lake Lugano, Lake Maggiore, Lake Orta, Lake Geneva and Lake Neuchatel as well as the water channel trails
in Valle d'Aosta and the Swiss Canton of Valais.
Most trails in Liguria, Tuscany and Lazio willo be free of snow too.
There will be snow at Chamonix, however.
If you don't want to spend as much as accommodation in Western Europe costs, you may check the Lycian Trail in Southern Turkey.
