Hiking in the Apuan Alps

Program 3

If you like excursions in the mountains, go for a weekend in the Apuan Alps - a chain of mountains in the Northern Apennines. Their crystalline limestone composition gives them their jagged profiles and deep ravines. The pure white marble from which Michelangelo carved his statues is quarried here. We will spend the night in one of the many Alpine Club refuges and hope to show you an enchanting sight - on crystal clear days, the sun sets in the sea, colouring the faces and peaks of the mountains with pastel shades of pink. Departure around 8.00 am Saturday morning, returning at around 10.00 pm on Sunday. A knowledge of Italian is not necessary. Bring hiking or climbing boots, a backpack, a canteen and a wind-proof jacket. In case of inclement weather, an alternative program will be offered.
