Description

Discover the amazing nature and stunning view from the summit of one of the most beautiful mountains in the Appennines: the Libro Aperto! This day hike is a great way to enjoy the unique nature of this beautiful mountain range in Tuscany.

The Libro Aperto summit offers one of the most specatacular panoramic views in the area. The mountain is situated on the Apennines ridge and it marks the border beetween the regions of Tuscany and Emilia.

Join this tour and you will discover a mountain where nature is still untouched, a place full of history and traditions. During our hike, if we are lucky enough we might also see some roes, eagles and marmots.

Our trip starts and finishes in Abetone, one of the oldest ski resorts in Italy, land of lumberjacks and ski champions. We will hike for about 13 kilometers and it will take us about 6 hours. You don’t need any special skills to join us, but you need to be in good shape.

When you look at the mountain either from the south or the north it looks like a book opened at the middle, and that is exactly what Libro Aperto means, “Open Book”. The peak is located close to the Abetone Pass, making it easily reachable.

So what are you waiting for? Just book your place and get ready for a great day hike in the Appenines! You could also check out this day hike to the Scaffaiolo Lake!

About the guide

Federico

I was born in a very cold December in Abetone, a small village nested along the ridge of Appennino Tosco Emiliano. Legend has it that when I was only 7-months old I started to walk, an activity I still practise. In 2008, following a great passion, I became a an AMSI Ski Instructor. Some years later, I got a degree in Economy of Tourism at Firenze's University and a specialization course in marketing.

Thereafter, I spent a couple of years working in different cities far away from my home mountains. That was when I decided that my life should be on a mountain ridge, or in a valley, walking in a forest or in a field full of flowers, but always surrounded by the green of Mother Nature. So, I started to work as Hiking Guide, becoming a proud ambassador of my land and my traditions.

Join me on a trip and I wil take you to discover the real heart of the mountains of Tuscany and the real soul of the Appennines!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
