GARFAGNANA ADVENTURES

Tradtional Mushroom Hunting Day

Running from the end of july through until early part of October are our traditional mushroom hunting days out. We will take you out for a day in the woods and pastures searching for mushrooms and above all the elusive Porcini, found in good numbers in the valley. We will have a local person with us giving us all their local knowledge of the area. Knowing all the best spots where to find funghi, we will be sure to get a good selection. Lunch will be included in the day and when we return to base you can take your mushrooms with you or stay for a tradtional meal cooked up using the mushrooms that have been collected. We will have a 3 course meal of Garfagnana specialities to round off the day in style.

NIGHT BIKE RIDES AND NIGHT WALKS

These tours will take place in the summer months, weather depending, from start of June through until end of September.

They will start varying times, so call to find out ! Early enough to have some light to start out and go onto midnight. Please arrive early to give some time to get ready. (Bring warm clothes as some summer nights are still quite fresh). Bring torches with you, or we can provide them.

NIGHT BIKE RIDES

We will meet at Braccicorti and ride up into the Orecchiella Natural Park via the road and small villages to the toen of Corfino. From Corfino we go into the park of the Orecchiella to a good vantage point over the valley for moonlight views and for animals, hoping to hear the sounds or a sight of the Apennine wolf. Here we will take time to enjoy these tranquil surroundings around us, before heading down into the valley via some trails and meadows where we should fine numerous fire flies back to Braccicorti.

NIGHT WALKS

We will meet at Braccicorti where we will prepare for the walk. We will then transfer to the Orecchiella Natural Park and Rif Isera where we will then walk up onto the top of the Pania del Corfino. Here on top one has a panorama that is hard to beat, on a summers night with the mountains lit by the light of the moon and the sounds of the crickets and fireflies in the sky it is a wonderful experience. With the Apennines on one side and the valley and Alpi Apuane on the other, there is no better vantage point. From here we will back track down through the forest to the start for a final drink after the past walk. From there we head back to Braccicorti. Lights can be provided. The level of the walk is easy to moderate level, it is just getting used to walking at night !!!!
