There are numerous possibilities for mountain biking along the paths and dirt roads within the Apuan Park or along the Serchio valley. The possibility offered by the train + bike service of the FS is very interesting; all the trains of the Lucca-Aulla line, and several of the coastal line, in fact, guarantee this service that allows us to make crossing itineraries using the train to return to the starting point.

The Apuan Alps are famous for their high quality marble, also used by Michelangelo Buonarroti. Among the features not to be missed is the presence of 1300 caves of various sizes, which can be visited by the general public but also by expert speleologists. Particularly worthy of note are the Grotta del Vento and the Antro del Corchia.
