Tuscany (Garfagnana)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Garfagnana is a rugged mountain valley in northern Tuscany, Italy, carved by the Serchio River and flanked by the Apuan Alps to the west and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines to the east. It's known for dramatic landscapes of marble peaks, dense chestnut forests, and medieval hilltop villages like Barga and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. Far less visited than the rolling hills of Chianti or the cities of Florence and Siena, it draws hikers, cyclists, and travellers seeking an authentic, crowd-free side of Tuscany. The area is also celebrated for its local food traditions, including chestnut flour, farro, and Pecorino cheese.
