Visits Lucca - Garfagnana
Duration: 9 nights/ 10 days
Discover the secrets of the traditional foods of Lucca and the Garfagnana with these wonderfully indulgent days learning holidays exploring the flavours and traditions of one of Tuscany’s most distinctive culinary regions.
The Garfagnana is an area within the northwest "panhandle" of Tuscany, a landscape of deep valleys and high Alps. Luxuriant meadows and thick forests climb from the river basins, reaching towards the tops of the mountains, among the highest in Central Italy. It is a region of profound silence, stupendous vistas, and remote alpine villages where a traditional, simpler life still holds true.

Our Garfagnana trek takes you in a huge loop through this region, with 8 full days of hiking. Rated as one of the top ten hikes in all of Europe, this is a trek for serious hikers trained for 6 to 8 hours of strenuous hiking each day, who don't mind staying in an occasional mountain refuge. And your guide for the tour is a licensed trekking guide with a passionate knowledge of the outdoors and the region's wildlife.
(Note: this is a guided tour only which requires a minimum of 4 participants.)
