The thriving natural environment of Metsovo favors the development and promotion of alternative forms of tourism, such as trekking tourism. In this paper, conversation with local people, especially the older ones, willing to share with the author their knowledge and experiences, drew a very good picture of the basic routes and paths that the habitats of Metsovo used for a long time in the past. The 20th century’s significant changes, in terms of communication and transfer, contributed to the abandonment or the total destruction of many old routes.

Aiming at shedding light to these forgotten routes, the route between Metsovo and Anilio was chosen to be recorded. The depiction of the route was done with the use of a hand GPS. Appropriate software was used for the route to be embossed on a map. The use of applications such as palmtops for a safer tour and getting better information could boost trekking tourism.
