Embark on the Camaiore to Pedona loop tour, a moderate hike covering 6.1 miles (9.9 km) with an elevation gain of 1160 feet (354 metres), typically taking around 3 hours and 4 minutes to complete. The trail begins on asphalt before transitioning to an ancient path, leading you through dense chestnut woods and terraced fields with a notable uphill climb towards the historic village of Pedona. You will experience a mix of mountainous terrain and rolling hills, eventually descending via a mule track and following a dirt path along the Camaiore river back to your starting point.
To begin your journey, head to the Viale Oberdan parking lot near Piazza Romboni in Camaiore. The initial section follows about one kilometer of asphalt road before you join the ancient Via delle Selvette. While the trail is generally accessible, be prepared for the significant ascent to Pedona. No specific permits or fees are mentioned for this route, making it a straightforward option for a day hike.
This loop is a highlight of the "Camaiore Antiqua" project, designed to rediscover the region's rich history and archaeological treasures. As you hike, you will pass through the ancient village of Pedona, once home to a feudal castle, and Molino di Teneri, an old mill. The route also incorporates a variant of the Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and historical exploration.
