Article - Hiking Holiday with SPICE and Tracks N Trips in Albiano Tuscany, Italy

The time spent on this Hiking Holiday in the Tuscany region of Northern Italy was superb. Tuscany was a delightful experience with stunning landscapes and ancient cities. Virtually every village had art treasures to stir the imagination of times gone by. We stayed in Albiano, close to Barga in the area of Garfagna, meaning enchanted wood, in Northern Tuscany, located between the Appennine mountains and the Alpi Apuane mountains.

The hikes we did were on good tracks, which were usually mule tracks or forest trails. There were 5 days of hikes and the hiking time was around 5 to 7 hours each day. On one of the days we were hiking in the Orecchiella Natural Park. All of the hiking involved some up-hill climbs with the greatest ascent for the week being 2,800 ft, which was the equivalent of climbing Snowdon in the UK.
