The Value of Walking
For AKU, walking is about far more than reaching a destination. It is about connecting with a place, learning to read the landscape, understanding its history and moving through it with respect.
This vision of trekking places discovery, care for the natural environment and the value of a slower pace at its heart. It is an approach to the mountains that has always guided AKU—not only through footwear designed for people who choose to explore the outdoors consciously, but also through projects that foster culture, knowledge and responsibility.
This shared vision is the foundation of the partnership between AKU and Bormio Tourism, built around a common goal: enhancing Stelvio National Park through trekking routes, outdoor experiences and projects dedicated to hiking.
Projects Across the Territory
From the Stelvio Historical Trek to the new Alta Via dell’Ortles, the partnership between AKU and Bormio Tourism comes to life along some of the most significant routes in Stelvio National Park.
Each trail has its own history, landscape and level of accessibility, yet they all share the same idea of the mountains: walking as a way to better understand the territory, interpret its traces and develop a deeper awareness of the natural environments that define it.
AKU will support Bormio Tourism in developing the area’s leading trekking initiatives, helping to make Stelvio National Park’s network of trails even richer and more accessible.
The partnership includes the Stelvio Historical Trek, the Punta Segnale rock art trail, the new Alta Via dell’Ortles and a wide range of family-oriented experiences—initiatives designed to tell the story of the mountains through walking and to encourage more people to experience them with greater awareness.
