What to expect
The morning starts with a drive into the regional park, then a steady forest walk at elevation to meet your truffle hunter. You'll spend several hours moving through woodland, stopping frequently to watch the dogs work and chat with your guide about the trade. The pace is deliberate—this isn't a sprint, but your legs and lungs will be working. Once truffles are found, you'll taste shavings poolside before heading to the restaurant. Lunch is unhurried: three courses, each built around today's hunt, paired with regional wine. Expect tired but satisfied legs by pickup.
Good to know
Bring proper hiking boots and weather-appropriate layers. The forest can be muddy and uneven. This tour requires solid fitness—sustained uphill walking at altitude.
