Hard · Hill run
One long, steep climb to the summit cross on Monte Scarpiglione, rewarded with a fantastic panorama. Mostly trails and gravel tracks, with a bit of road.
Moderate · Mountain loop
Up past the Screaming Cave to the Monte Forato rock arch and back down. Up for a little excitement? Add the short via ferrata (only with the right gear).
Start: Fornovolasco, about an hour's drive into the mountains from Fubbiano.
Steep and rocky in places, so good fitness and sure feet needed.
Hard · Mountain loop
For the mountain goats: over Monte Forato and up to Pania della Croce, the queen of the Apuan Alps. A full day out.
Start: Fornovolasco, about an hour's drive into the mountains from Fubbiano.
Alpine terrain with a short via ferrata and exposed sections. Only for sure-footed, experienced trail runners and hikers.
Good to know
Shoes with some grip for the gravel, a cap, sunscreen, a small bottle and some snacks.
Late May can be warm. Go before 9am and carry water on the longer routes.
Many trails around Fubbiano aren't maintained, so you might end up finding your way through undergrowth or along goat paths. Stick to the routes above, on roads or bring a sense of adventure (and long socks).
