ピエトラサンタの峠・トップ20

great trail, from start to finish, beautiful views and chestnut forests with streams and huts. We did not encounter any tick-infested areas. Highly recommended hike for families with small children.

A spectacular 360 degree view. Coast from Liguria to Elba. Mounts Pania, Cimone, Sumbra. As often on the Apuan Alps, very steep climbs and a sure step is required.

Point with an amazing view. Easy to reach from path 130 which can be a little slippery when it’s moist, but further no difficulties. From here to pania della croce and monte forato is marked as EE. To pania there are chains to hold on to on the difficult parts, to monte forato there are no chains, the path to forato is narrow and sometimes exposed on both sides.

Beautiful mountain landscape and one of the many tunnels here in the mountains where you can cool off.

Beautiful view of the Apuan Alps

The question here is how to tackle this Monte Altissimo - the path looks like a very steep staircase...

Incredibly this step is little known, but beautiful. From both sides you can admire wonderful views. Although the climb is long, the pass does not have a prohibitive gradient. There are some short tunnels on both sides.

The via Vandelli which, depending on the direction in which you travel it, climbs from Resceto to the tambura pass, touching the Nello Conti ai Campaniletti refuge with the Vandelli window, is the first Italian road with hairpin bends suitable for carriages. It connected the duchy of Modena to the sea without touching the neighboring duchies and for this reason too it is a truly fundamental strategic engineering work. But given its altitude and impassability and the winter months it was soon abandoned and rediscovered as a connecting path during the wars for the supply of grain in the coastal provinces, which was exchanged for sea salt, necessary for the Po provinces. On this occasion, it was strictly the women who took charge of the transport of the goods, putting their own safety and security at considerable risk on the arduous Tambura pass.
