Itinerary
Arriving in Pisa today, we drive to our agriturismo which will be our base for the next seven nights. This family-run working farm offers us traditional and comfortable accommodation and is surrounded by the magnificent scenery of the Apennines and the Alpi Apuane. We can look forward to enjoying good, local food and excellent hospitality in the magnificent setting of the Garfagnana Valley.
After breakfast this morning, we drive up into the Apennines to Pruno, at an altitude of 1000 metres in the Orecchiella National Park. From here, we will hike via the Sella de Campaiana Pass to the summit of Pania Corfino, at an altitude of 1609 metres. Our route tak...
