Monte Matanna, Versilia
Tuscany
Monte Matanna (1,317 m) above Camaiore in Versilia is the easiest approach into the Apuan Alps from the coast. The ridge above the beach resorts of Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio faces the marble peaks of Carrara — white marble quarry walls visible from the path. The transition from beach umbrella to alpine meadow is under 15 km.
