Escursionistca, Trekking, Via ferrata
Lots of opportunities to explore our territory by walking and climbing, in Tuscan landscapes that you wouldn’t expect and that remain intimate. Here are a few of them
On the Trail of the CAI
CAVE, PARK, and PEAKS for a breathtaking mix:
Corchia Cave
Alpino Mosceta Pass (Del Freo refuge) and back
approx. 3h30’ +- 500m.
Refuge along the trail for a tasty break and a restorative sleep.
A “REFRESHING” WALK:

UNIQUE VIEWS!
More challenging with the possibility of a VIA FERRATA:
From Cardoso in Stazzema (Orzale area) to Mount Forato
approx. 5h round trip, ± 870 m.
Via ferrata opportunities from Foce di Petrosciana, in about 50 minutes.
LANDSCAPES AND CUISINE
Colonnata-Case Vergheto-Cima d’Uomo (loop about 3h30’ ±450 m)
URBAN TREK
Route to discover Pontremoli, approx. 1h30’
A picturesque village nestled in nature where traditions, local cuisine, and archaeology come together.
It can be a starting point or a stop on a trekking route around the region, with overnight stays in mountain huts, farm stays, campsites, or hotels.
MOUNTAINS WITH SEA VIEW AND VIA FERRATA
From Alto Matanna to the belt of Mount Procinto
(approx. 1 hour ±150 m one way, the same for the return /

ANOTHER CHALLENGE BETWEEN PROSPECTS AND VIA FERRATA

THE PLACE TO BE TO SEE THE SUNRISE

PICTURESQUE RING of the Land of Pinocchio
From Collodi to San Gennaro-Tofori-Fubbiano-Collodi (approx. 4h ± 400 m.)
A ‘POGGIO’ further down… in CHIANTI… to recover from ‘the hangover’ among the Tuscan hills, passing through vineyards and visiting castles, many routes to suggest to you
SEA SIDE:
The hike across the 5 Lands (Monterosso-Riomaggiore) takes about 5h30’; however, it is possible to cover sections between the various villages, possibly using the train for transportation. Each “Land” offers a different atmosphere that is worth appreciating and experiencing, perhaps alternating between walking and kayaking!
ISLAND TOUR:
Another pleasant excursion is to Palmaria Island. After reaching it by ferry, walk around the island along the trail in about 2 hours and 30 minutes with a total elevation gain of 400 meters. Take advantage of the Mediterranean climate with sea and mountain views.
