If you love the wild and you like walking where you can touch history and ancient mountain traditions in an unspoiled environment of high mountains.... this is the trek that you will enjoy.

This spectacular trek is considered by walkers and climbers to present some of the most varied and beautiful scenery in Europe and allows you in the space of 10 days, walking from refuge to refuge, to admire the dramatic range of the Apuan Alps and the extraordinary ridge of the Appenines which separates Garfagnana (Tuscany) from Emilia-Romagna.

In this part of Tuscany, hidden away from the tourists, it seems that time passes more slowly.  It is steeped in the traditions of the peasants and mountain people and has succeeded in conserving its natural dimension.

To walk in Garfagnana is to reach out and touch the primordial roots of Tuscany and the Tuscan people.
