Versilia is the name given to the area which stretches along the coast from the towns of Forte dei Marmi to Viareggio, and is one of Italy’s most popular beach areas. However, beyond the sea there is another aspect to Versilia: its hills and mountains.
Soaring above the Versilia coastline are vast stretches of green hills and dramatic mountains which contain rivers and plenty of wonderful walks and excursions for nature lovers and trekkers. You’ll find tiny centuries-old churches, unspoilt natural beauty and incredible sea views reaching as far as Corsica on a clear day. The Versilia hills are also the gateway to the mighty Apuan Alps, an extraordinary mountain range which is home to the quarries from where the famed Bianco Carrara marble is extracted.
Cyclists also adore the challenging slopes and curves of the roads, peppered with tiny villages and, of course, great restaurants where you can enjoy local specialities such as tordelli, Scopolato di Pedona cheese or panzerotti – a type of delicious fried donut which you fill with tasty prosciutto and creamy cheese.
