Garfagnana: walking and cycling
Four days to discover the beauties of the valley, surrounded by the Apuan Alps
Thanks to some easy excursions, we will immerse ourselves in the landscapes full of magical atmospheres of this valley.
Garfagnana is situated in north-western Tuscany, between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
We will walk and cycle between villages and fortresses of medieval origin, discovering unique traditions and tasting typical products born from a close link between man and the environment.
For the whole trip we will be based at the Agriturismo Braccicorti, a typical stone farmhouse surrounded by small buildings once used for drying chestnuts ('metati'), in the Pieve Fosciana area.
