A 150 km journey in 7 stages, on foot, by e-bike, MTB or train, discovering 15 Community Cooperatives in Lunigiana and Garfagnana.
On the Way Among the Communities of the Holy Face
Lunigiana and Garfagnana are the heart of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines in Tuscany, and represent a world of mountain rurality consisting of Landscapes, Parks and biodiversity, historic villages and castles, agricultural and gastronomic culture that preserves pre-industrial identity.
But the identity of these valleys is mostly expressed by the small Communities organized into hundreds of historic and rural villages, which have designed the human landscape.
Communities we find along the Via del Volto Santo, the historical-religious route that connects these valleys, following the route that pilgrims used from Pontremoli in Lunigiana to reach the Holy Face preserved in the Cathedral of San Martino in Lucca.
This is a trail that can be traveled today by slow and sustainable means: on foot, by ebike or MTB, and by train.
While the heart of the experience proposed by ToscoTravel are 15 active Community Cooperatives along the route, to be known and especially to be immersed in their experience by participating in their activities.
In fact, Tosco Travel is the brand created to enhance the inland areas and Community Cooperatives of Tuscany, by Lunigiana Travel Agency by AlterEco.
We propose the experience of traveling to the Holy Face Communities, offering travel arrangement services and logistical and reservation assistance.
