Explore the snowy mountains and hidden caves of Tuscany
Posted on
Beautiful Tuscany has lots to offer its visitors but sometimes we just want to step outside of the norm and explore those natural, hidden delights. With this in mind why not journey to the north of Tuscany and explore the wonders that lie before you?
The Apuan Alps
With a spectacular view from the mountains the Apuan Alps offer a distinct landscape covered in snow even throughout the summer season. Defined as a tranquil place to visit, the Apuan Alps give you ample opportunity to explore the allure of the sea and the beauty of the scenery away from the bustle of central Tuscany.
The Antro del Corchia
Located around 860 meters above sea level, the Antro del Corchia hosts some of the most widespread caverns and ravines in the world. Stretching around 70km underground, with an altitude difference of over 1200 meters, the recent, accidental discovery of these glorious caverns are open to tourists wishing to marvel in the wonder of Tuscany’s pristine cliffs.
