Details

Outside the hiking community, few know about the Garfagnana region in northern Tuscany. It’s a hiker’s dream with dramatic mountain trails, wild national parks and spectacular views – a stark contrast to the vineyards and rolling hills of the south. Join an expert tour leader to explore the most beautiful trails in the area and return each evening to our stone farmhouse on the lower slopes of the Apennines. Traditional Italian hospitality and good food await, plus there’s a free day to explore nearby Lucca, the Cinque Terre, Florence or Pisa.Please note: Most departures for this trip are graded Activity Level 3 (Moderate); however, if you’re looking to push yourself, join one of our Activity Level 5 (Challenging) departures to tackle more difficult treks and spend a night in a mountain refuge. See the itinerary for a day-by-day schedule for each Activity Level. Please check the Dates & Prices tab to confirm the Activity Level rating for each departure before booking.

Highlights

  • Escape the crowds on a walking adventure in Tuscany’s lesser-known mountainous region
  • Gaze over the Apennines from the summit of Monte Prado, Tuscany’s tallest peak
  • Enjoy picnic lunches with beautiful views – our tour leaders know the best spots!
  • Take the opportunity to visit Lucca, the Cinque Terre, Florence or Pisa on a free day
  • Feel like one of the family at Agriturismo Braccicorti, our farmhouse for the week

Included in Price

  • All breakfasts, five lunches and five dinners are included. Breakfast: Continental with a choice of cereal, local bread, yoghurt, cheese, fruit, homemade spreads, fresh eggs, milk, fruit juice, teas and coffee. Lunches: Packed lunches are provided on hiking days with a buffet-style selection of meat, fish, cheese, salad and bread for sandwiches, plus a daily salad mix such as chickpea or rice salad, panzanella or a bean mix, plus fruit and cake. Dinners: These are usually three courses. The first course is a traditional soup or pasta with local bread and olive oil. The main course is a local meat or fish dish with vegetables and salad and wine offered by the Braccicorti family. The meal is finished with a small homemade dessert such as pannacotta or fruit salad or local ice cream and, on occasions, finished with a grappa or amaretto. Dietary requirements are fairly well catered for in this area. Braccicorti do not offer a menu; therefore, it is important to notify us in advance of any dietary needs so the Giovanetti family can plan your meals accordingly. If you follow a more specific diet, such as gluten-free or lactose-free, it is advisable to bring your own snacks as these are hard to find locally. Gluten-free bread and pasta is readily available in the local area and will be provided as long as the family have notice prior to travel.
