Living this impressive fortress, where historical events have occurred, a symbol of history and treasure of stories, means to participate in events, concerts, conferences, folklore performances, but also enjoy in sports activities or simply relax in the huge green park surrounded by mountains and forests of chestnut and beech trees, populated - it is said - by fantastic creatures such as gnomes and fairies which influenced Ariosto.
Mont'Alfonso can be a starting point for excursions in the Park of the Apuan Alps, which here has a branch, in the Park of Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and for many nature reserves of the Serchio Valley; or, also, to discover a lot of welcoming stone villages, where you can know many craft traditions.
