Few know that northern Tuscany’s Garfagnana is a hidden gem for hikers, boasting dramatic mountain trails and wild national parks. The "Walking in Tuscany" tour invites experienced travelers to discover this lesser-known side of Italy over 8 days of moderate trekking. Set out from Lucca and journey through scenic Braccicorti, Casone, and beyond, returning each night to a welcoming stone farmhouse at the foot of the Apennines. Traditional hospitality and authentic cuisine await after days filled with panoramic hikes. A free day enables exploration of Lucca, Florence, Pisa, or even the Cinque Terre. For those seeking extra challenge, select departures offer tougher treks and a night in a mountain refuge. All accommodations, meals, and transport are included, ensuring a relaxed yet enriching experience. The USP: an intimate trekking escape in Tuscany’s rugged north, where genuine Italian culture and unspoiled nature go hand in hand.
Just back from hiking in Northern Tuscany's little known Garfagnana region. Varied walks and terrain with incredible views and a great sense of satisfaction. Really enjoyed the company of our group, the lovely views, pool and family welcome from our comfortable argriturismo and trying lots of traditional Italian food.
Fantastic area of Italy. Unspoilt rural haven.
We have had many trips with Exodus over the years and I can honestly say this ranks as one of the best. The location at Agriturismo Braccicort was superb, with wonderful grounds, sustainable farming, good food provided by the lovely Italian family and rooms with views. The area is truly a best kept secret as we saw very few other walkers and yet we were amongst wonderful mountains with amazing views stretching for miles. Great bird life and loads of fabulous wild flowers.
Our first guided tour with Exodus, and first ever, was great. The setting, food, group dynamic and leader were all more than I for!
Fantastic trip with a good variety of walks. The Garfagnana area truly is one of Italy's best kept secrets - a lot of the time it felt like you had the whole place to yourself! The whole area is absolutely stunning.
