Characterised by a mountains and hills, set between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, Garfagnana stretches along the Serchio river. In fact it is this contrast between the river valley and the surrounding mountainous areas that creates this zone of considerable environmental interest, with thick chestnut and beech forests alternating with vine and olive cultivation. To make the beauty of the area accessible, there are trekking itineraries to follow on foot or on horseback, as well as mountain-bike trails to calm the stresses of daily life. Don’t forget that the Versilia coast is only 40 kilometres away.
The villages that are found one after another are not to be missed, offering visitors amenities and services.
