Where we are

Buca of Gracchi is a starting point for mountain bike excursions and trekking through marked paths and easy lanes. From here you can walk up to the Mount Roccandagia (mt.1700) which overlooks the whole valley. Leaving Campocatino you can reach the Eremo di San Viviano (San Viano’s Hermitage), the patron of querrymen. On clear days Mount Tambura offers a delightful view of the coast of Versilia and Corsica. Walking down Passo della Sella you can reach the valley of Arnetola where a particular kind of marble, called "calcatta" and "arabescato Vagli", is extracted. It is the one used in Sala Nervi, in the Vatican. Moreover there is an old quarry which has been turned into a summer theatre with a special acoustic for concerts and plays in July and August. Passo della Tambura is crossed by Via Vandelli , which was made by the duke of Modena in order to reach Malaspina castle in Massa. You cannot miss visiting the Lake of Vagli that every ten years is dried up due to periodical maintenance. It is as if the ruins of a ghost village reemerge by magic.
