This new edition further expands the already abundant climbing scene in Tuscany with the introduction of 50 new sectors, which range from north to south of the region. From the striking landscapes of the Camaiore area and Sant’Anna di Stazzema on the Apuan Alps to the magical atmosphere of Garfagnana, all the way to the charming island of Elba and beyond, every area offers breathtaking views, rocky towers with routes ideal for all climbing abilities, historical heritage and unique culinary experiences. In addition, we cannot forget Argentario, a true paradise where climbing harmoniously blends in with the sea.

The new crags at Massa, the important development of Amiata and the recent discoveries in the southern part of Tuscany, make this edition even more interesting. A detailed photographic documentation accompanies this guide book turning it into an indispensable tool not only for climbing enthusiasts, but also for those who wish to explore and discover Tuscany in all its magnificence, combining adventure and tourism in a unique and unforgettable experience.

Raffaele Giannetti, born in 1985 in Carrara (MS) near the Apuan Alps, he grew up in the mountains that pushed him in the direction of sports climbing. He is the president of the Versante Apuano association which is dedicated to the bolting and upkeep of crags and promoting climbing in Tuscany, and protecting the territory. In 2017 he opened The Wall, a bouldering gym situated between the Apuan Alps and Muzzerone, an innovative area which is not simply a climbing gym, but it has become a meeting point for the climbing community. Currently, the facility is on standby while awaiting a new location, with the hope of reopening soon.
