Zeri, a municipality stretching across the borders of Tuscany, Liguria, and Emilia, offers an authentic immersion in the Apennine mountains. With its characteristic villages, traditional cuisine, and ancient customs, Zeri is the perfect destination for those seeking relaxation and mystery in the enchanting upper Lunigiana.
Among its must-see destinations is the ancient mountain village of Formentara, built in the 16th century at over 1,100 meters above sea level. It offers a mysterious atmosphere steeped in traditions now largely forgotten. The Colombara Waterfall and the Ponte dei Rumori are steeped in local legends, adding to the area's unique charm. Montelama, known as the "land of magicians," is famed for tales of witchcraft and an evocative aura that continues to fascinate lovers of the supernatural.
For food enthusiasts, Zeri offers more than just the renowned Agnello di Zeri (Zeri lamb), a Slow Food Presidium. The region also boasts exceptional mushrooms, chestnuts, potatoes, and apples.
To truly experience this timeless territory, visitors are encouraged to explore its many hiking trails—especially the Via dei Monti de Pontremolo, a recently rediscovered route that traverses the Rossano Valley within the municipality of Zeri.
