Most Beautiful Cycling Routes in Tuscany – Discovering Garfagnana and its Hidden Valleys

Описание: Join me for two unforgettable days of cycling through the Garfagnana, exploring remote valleys, wild natural wonders, and picturesque villages. All i 4k.

We ride north of Collodi through the scenic Val di Nievole, then cross into the lush, mountainous Valle del Serchio, passing Ancient hamlets and discovering some of the area’s best-kept secrets.

📍 Villages and landmarks we ride through:

Pescia and Montefegano

Bagni di Lucca (thermal town gateway to the upper valley)

Orrido di Botri canyon (Rio Pelago gorge carved into limestone cliffs)

Up the Valle del Pelago, then into the Val Turrite leading to Fornovolasco (gateway to Grotta del Vento)

The Hermitage of Calomini carved into the rock face above Gallicano

The tiny village of Fornovolasco itself and surrounding forest roads

Emerging through Gallicano and Coreglia Antelminelli in the heart of Garfagnana


⛰️ Along the way, I discovered:

The verdant Val di Nievole north of Collodi

The dramatic limestone gorge of Orrido di Botri near Bagni di Lucca

The mysterious Grotta del Vento in Turrite Valley

A sacred moment at the Hermitage of Calomini

The peaceful villages of Fornovolasco, Gallicano, and Coreglia Antelminelli, tucked into the Serchio Valley.
