Details
Our tour lasts about 2.5 hours and allows you to visit the three extraction basins of Colonnata, Miseglia, and Torano, all aboard off-road vehicles. This allows access to sites where it is impossible to enter by any other means, entering various quarries in operation, both open-pit and in tunnels. Finally, the entrance to the evocative "Marble Cathedral" (a tunnel quarry) will leave you speechless. The tour includes a tasting of the famous Lardo di Colonnata. Two departures daily, morning and afternoon On request, a sunset excursion and a visit to a sculpture atelier. Our four-legged friends are always welcome (please let us know via message so we can provide them with adequate space in the vehicle).
