Walking in Tuscany

Day 1  Braccicorti
Fly to Pisa and transfer to Braccicorti, your home for the week.

Day 2  Orecchiella NP
Take a short drive to the village of Pruno and begin walking in the Orecchiella National Park. Steadily climb to the Sella di Campiana.

Day 3  Alpi Apuane NP
The small village of Vianova marks the start of today’s walk into the Alpi Apuane National Park. The forest path soon clears for a viewpoint across the face of Pania della Croce and the Omo Morto range. From here, it’s an upward track to the walls of Monte Sumbra for fantastic views of Lago di Vagli far below.

Day 4  Castiglione di Garfagnana
Today’s walk begins directly from the farmhouse. Follow tracks, quiet lanes and footpaths through farmland and observe village life. Arrive at the small, medieval walled town of Castiglione di Garfagnana.  

Day 5  Braccicorti
A short train ride can take you to the fortified city of Lucca, which can also be combined with a short visit to Pisa.

Day 6  Campocatino
Approaching Fornovolasco via a beautiful gorge, we park in the village and start the hike. After arriving at a col, we follow a good path, as it contours past unusual rock formations and brings us to a refuge in its early stages of renovation. We slowly ascend from the refuge, reaching the impressive rock arch of Monte Forato.

Day 7  Monte Tondo
Today, we grab our daypacks and head to a well-marked trail towards Monte Tondo.

Day 8  Transfer to Pisa and fly home
