Walking in Tuscany

A dramatic contrast to the rolling hills of southern Tuscany, Garfagnana in the mountainous north is a hiker’s dream. Experience its most beautiful trails, discovering picturesque mountain villages, wild national parks and summit views. 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. For a day-by-day schedule for each Activity Level, see the itinerary. Please check the Dates & Prices tab to confirm the Activity Level rating for each departure before booking.
