Discover vast amphitheaters of cut rock for spectacular views and delve into cavernous tunnels that open out into marble cathedrals.
An immense cultural and historical patrimony, these mountains were first exploited by Julius Caesar and have supplied artists from Michelangelo to Henry Moore.
Stop in the quarryman's village of Colonnata, renowned for its lard cured in huge marble vats.
You may also take a guided tour to visit the inside of a working quarry, where you'll be taken into the heart of the Apuan Alps to discover a marvelous quarry carved deep inside the mountains of an almost lunar appearance with vast and cavernous rooms.
Or, you may wish to join a thrilling 4x4 guided tour in the stunning scenery of the Carrara marble basins, where some scenes of the James Bond Quantum of Solace film were shooted in 2008.
