Apuane Alps and Tuscany
Apuane Alps:
Still in Tuscany, but a world away from the towns of the south, and its rolling hills are the Apuane Alps. This remote, area is totally unsophisticated, covered by a web of trails which were mostly abandoned 40 years ago. You will experience a mountain wilderness, superb scenery, and tranquillity. The Apuane Alps walking-hiking tour in Italy has many attractive ingredients, from wide mountain vistas, to remote hamlets, and wild,dramatic forest and mountain scenery. There are few other walkers, and the villagers make you feel welcome.
Tuscany:
- The essence of Italy: classic landscapes, mediaeval towns, olives, sunflowers, vineyards
- More antiquarian sites than anywhere on earth
- Mouthwatering Tuscan cuisine, world-famous wines
- Wonderful art cities: Florence, Pisa, Siena and Lucca
- Renaissance, Etruscan and Roman treasuers
Tuscany is quintessential and timeless Italy, with a greater density of antiquarian sites than anywhere else on earth. And despite its popularity it remains largely unspoilt. This was the beloved homeland of Galileo, Dante and Machiavelli. And it was here that Michelangelo, Donatello and Leonardo da Vinci lived and worked.
You can choose to explore all the best of the countryside and classic cities on our 'Best of Tuscany' guided walking holiday. Independent cycling or walking options are in the classic Tuscan countryside of the Siena province or the comparatively unknown and totally unspoilt Mugello.
