Walking in Tuscany

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.
