Hall’s last known sighting was on 7 July at the ‘All Right’ pub, where he was reportedly seen by staff.
The Brit was due to check out of the B&B he was staying in on 11 July, but when he did not return, the B&B’s owners contacted the police.
He asked hotel staff for directions to hikes in the area upon his arrival, reported the Mail Online.
The staff pointed him towards several scenic hiking routes.
Hall reportedly did not collect his breakfast at the B&B for several days but the hotel owners assumed he had left early in the morning to hike.
He has not contacted family or friends since sending the text, according to the Facebook post.
Hall, approximately 1.78 metres tall with brown hair, was due to fly home to the UK on Saturday, 13 July.
A missing person report has been filed with both Italian and UK authorities.
The search operation began on 13 July and includes the Carabinieri as well as the Alpine Rescue team.
