Climbing Mt Pisanino, Apuan Alps
We had a great experience with Franco (member of Roberto guides\' team) who guided us in this trek in Apuan Alps, the Pisanino, which is the highest summit in all this region. The level of difficulty is low while you should be ready to have some vertigos view at some points but we should say the panoramas are so stunning between the Apennines, the Mediterranean sea and the other mountains from Alpi Apuane all around. Franco has been so kind to explain in details the other treks of the region we will not miss to do next time !
Mountain climbing in Lucca is an activity that everyone can enjoy. The Apuan Alps are friendly and feature low-altitude peaks that can be tackled in a day.

Lucca is a stunning province and city in Tuscany that lies on the Serchio River. It was the birth place of Puccini and it is famous for the Renaissance walls that encircle its historic city center and cobblestone streets. Lining Lucca are the stunning Apuan Alps, which offer great options for hiking and mountain climbing. The tallest mountain in the region is Monte Pisanino, which boasts an altitude of 1946 m.a.s.l. and is a challenging, albeit thrilling climb.

We had an amazing trip, although the weather was bad for Monte Pisanino, the guide Franco took us up a neighbouring peak (Pizzo D\'uchello). Not too technically or physically demanding it did require a good head for heights as some areas were exposed. Overall a great experience and led by a very knowledgable and professional guide. 5 stars, would recommend for anyone looking for something a bit different!
