Discover Fetovaia: coastline and hiking trails

Fetovaia combines striking coastal scenery with a variety of trails: Sentiero Elba n. 135 connects the village with San Piero, Sentiero n. 112 connects Sentiero n. 126 with Spiaggia Il Giardino, and the Punta di Fetovaia walking trail leads towards Punta Fetovaia. After Punta alle Tombe, the village appears hidden behind the rocky headland of the same name. It points like a rocky finger towards the southern islands of the archipelago. The rock formation thus shapes the view of Fetovaia while also drawing the eye beyond the village. The hiking trails add further landscape and spatial perspectives.

Hiking trails between villages and coast

Sentiero Elba n. 135 connects San Piero with Fetovaia. It runs along the southern foothills of the granodiorite massif of Monte Capanne and is part of the Vie del Granito. Sentiero n. 135 links San Piero and Fetovaia.

The Punta di Fetovaia walking trail offers a different way to get your bearings. It is about 3 km long, of moderate difficulty, and starts at Spiaggia di Fetovaia. After reaching an unpaved track, the path leads through Mediterranean maquis towards Punta Fetovaia. The walk also includes a viewpoint overlooking Pianosa and Montecristo. If you plan to include active pursuits in your trip, you can assess the route using its own key details.

Sentiero Elba n. 112 is accessed from Provincial Road No. 25, on the section between Fetovaia and Pomonte. It connects Sentiero n. 126, which coincides with the road at this point, with Spiaggia Il Giardino. This beach is also known as Spiaggia Le Tombe and is located outside Fetovaia. For orientation, it is helpful to distinguish this trail’s connection to the road and the beach from those of the other routes. Names that sound similar also refer to different things here: Punta alle Tombe is the rocky headland, while Spiaggia Le Tombe is an alternative name for Spiaggia Il Giardino. This helps you keep the trail number, landform, and beach in mind as separate points of reference.

Which route features suit your plans?

For planning your holiday, an important distinction emerges: the Punta di Fetovaia walking trail has a stated length and difficulty, while Sentieri n. 135 and n. 112 can be identified by the places and trails they connect. This lets you decide whether a route with specific key details, a connection between San Piero and Fetovaia, or a link via the road to Spiaggia Il Giardino matters most when choosing where to stay. The trails offer different starting points for active days on Elba; they are not interchangeable alternatives.
