A tour of the Serchio Valley, crossing the upper plains of the Pizzorne
An itinerary that takes you on a journey through the Serchio Valley, climbing hills dotted with villas and farms, before arriving in dense conifer and chestnut woods. The roads and the small, narrow-laned hilltowns that feature on the upper plains of the Pizzorne testify to the great importance that the area once had, crossed by those traveling towards the Apennine passes. The churches, refuges and guest houses that surround the beautiful little towns are also a witness to this.
The itinerary starts from Ponte Moriano, goes up to the Pizzorne hills, and then descends towards the Pescia di Collodi valley. The road is abandoned at the height of the hamlet of Pracando, to proceed up the plateau to Boveglio and then descend into the Lima Valley, ending the journey in Bagni di Lucca.
