Guided 4x4 Tour of the Valsora Quarry in Massa Carrara
Discover the Valsora Quarry in the Apuan Alps on a 1-hour guided 4x4 tour through ancient marble quarries, underground tunnels, and a picturesque natural lake.
The experience begins with a 4x4 off-road drive through the marble quarry landscape. Accompanied by an expert guide, you’ll explore the underground mining areas and learn about the ancient and modern methods used to work the marble, as well as the history of this industry.
The tour continues to the Cava Valsora natural lake, formed inside a former quarry pit. Here you’ll observe a unique ecosystem that is home to rare species such as the Apuan Alps alpine newt and Chara algae. You’ll also learn how environmental restoration efforts have allowed nature to coexist with quarrying activities.
After visiting the lake, you’ll return to the starting point aboard the off-road vehicle.
