From the Apuan Alps to the sea
The Apuan Alps are a mountain range in north-western Tuscany, lying partly within the Provinces of Lucca and Massa-Carrara. They make up one of the most significant karst areas in Italy. The Apuan Riviera stretches from the south-eastern end of the Province of La Spezia in Liguria to the north-western part of Tuscany, where it takes in almost all of the coastline in the Province of Massa-Carrara.
