The Garfagnana - Tuscany

The Garfagana is for sure one of Tuscany best kept secret’s !, when the rest of Tuscany is jammed with people and traffic the Garfagnana is having another quiet and peaceful day. It was for this reason that we first started Garfagnana Adventures … as a way to try and sell the beauties of the area of the Garfagnana.

Thanks to the location of the Garfagnana, in the lush Serchio River valley north of Lucca and Pisa, surrounded by a natural barrier of 2 mountain ranges, the Apennines and the marble mountains of the Alpi Apuane. One cannot see or hear the noise of the cities, but we are still close enough to experience their wonders. Which makes it ideal for out active itineraries, as we can hit the mountain trails and tracks, on bike or walking and all the other amazing activities.. and see no one. But in less than an hour we can go to Lucca and onto Pisa, or even the coast at Viareggio and Massa as well as Northwards to the 5 terre coast.
