The Straits of Giaredo are undoubtedly one of the natural wonders of Lunigiana—a place where the power of nature reveals itself in spectacular form. This gorge, carved by the Gordana stream, offers visitors a unique opportunity to connect with nature on a journey through a landscape that constantly transforms, unveiling evocative and unexpected scenes.
The “Valle del Torrente Gordana” (Gordana Stream Valley) is recognized as a nature reserve under Council Directive 92/43/EEC, also known as the Habitats Directive, designating this geographical area as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
Here, you can immerse yourself in a bucolic setting, surrounded by birdsong and the soothing sound of flowing water.
As you follow the riverbed upstream, the landscape becomes increasingly wild and captivating. Tall, colorful rock walls rise dramatically, and along the route, you’ll discover small pools of crystal-clear water and hidden corners where sunlight filters through cracks in the rock, creating dancing patterns of light on the canyon walls.
This area is protected and not equipped: respect for the environment and caution are strongly recommended when visiting.
